To Fall



To fall

In my mind I see you
A different kind of human
Like looking through a stained view
And thus it began

A strong powerful beauty
Deeper than the biggest ravine
The maddest kind of sanity
That this world's ever seen

Bigger than any ocean
And stronger than the deepest tide
That's how it began
On this whiplashing ride

You move me deep to my core
As I lay fighting for every breath
Leaving my soul twisting for more
Until there's nothing left

In agony I fall deeper into this crevice
Until I hit the cold floor
Like a thief I steal each kiss
Until I can't take anymore

You are my mountain
My rock, my river, and my fountain
I would leap into that pit every time
Because I know at the end of this rhyme

You will be waiting...
