We sat there in silence.
I thought he might hear my heart beating.
We stood up and he caressed me in his arms.
We were at our favorite spot, right on the edge of the mountain, where, with one step, we would fall.
And so we did. Our bodies falling through the air, we were still holding tightly to one another.
As we fell, the wind choked me and I couldn't speak,
I couldn't tell you all the things I had wanted to say for so long.
We fell onto the rocky stones and sand.

I felt like we were sea glass.
---

Being overwhelmed by our feelings, just as the sea glass becomes overwhelmed by the waves.
It gets crushed and broken and never gets a chance to be more than that.
We laid there, and as I felt my heart weakening and my lungs collapsing, I thought to myself.
I didn't want to tell you all of those things that I wished to tell you as we were falling.
As I look at you lying there, short of breath, I know that they wouldn't mean anything to you. You have your eyes closed and you’re shouting someone’s name that isn't mine. And so I lie there and let my body shut down.

*Feeling as broken as sea glass might not be so bad.

Sitting in my room, I found a certain peace,
From the bones that were shattering outside my window crease
Not shaken nor stirred, not frightened in the least
I realized that my limbs might really be a beast’s

I heard the screams in dreams, which all were in my head
I knew how they were feeling, they all wanted me dead
And though I tried to drown them out, they wouldn’t go away
They lingered there, in deep despair; they sat and cried all day

They come back and they haunt me, without a daunt or dare
But then I wake up suddenly, and realize they weren’t there
Now I shake and shiver, I fear I’m going mad
I do believe this worry is the worst I’ve ever had

I hear noises out my window, once again I hear the screams
I throw my curtains o’er the chair, they have fallen off their beams
And just as the curtains fell, with them I fell dead
The monsters they had come for me, they found me in my head.
