Toxic
The cliffs we are standing on
are so high we can’t see over
the edge
but we know the drop
it has lingered like smoke
in our dreams for weeks
has curled like a vine
around our hearts
we have fantasised about it
wrote three chord songs
with bad lyrics
about the plummet
now we stand beneath
a carpet of stars
jagged rock beneath our feet
is it still our fantasy to fly?
or are we just two people
whose love became so toxic
that death seemed like the only
way to cleanse, to detox,
to start a new chapter
when you are two inches from death
your life flashes before your eyes
and neither of us saw beauty
or brilliance
especially together
especially together
especially together
