crushed

Falling,

It’s against the rules

Even with that smile

Under the streetlights

And if the trees

Could speak,

Would they see it

Linger?

I look for you,

Across the room.

Do you do too?

Don’t come close,

It’s easier then,

To remember I shouldn’t

But from a bird’s eye view,

Would it see the looks

That I didn’t?

Hold my hand,

Actually, don’t

I’m afraid I’ll fall.

Actually, let me

Too many

say that I should

When really,

I can’t.

And if I left before you,

Would you think to watch,

As I walked away?
