I can no longer rest
I have been denied
Hustled and trembling from the hostility in words-
Words like a noose-
Ringing the tenderness out

Falling from clouds
I was built up-
Fastened in equilibrium above the ground
And when the brink of ****** came
The gravity began to pull me down

There is no easy landing this time around
I will come crashing-
Shattering-
Scattering the warmth of my emotions across the sweet hearts that lay at the bottom of your glasses
