The edge.

I came to realise
That you were like
The edge
Of a tall cliff.

That overlooked the never-ending
Sea of tears,
That reflected
a sunset of memories.

The closer I came
To you,
The closer I came
To falling

And breaking
Your fragile ground
That was
Beneath my feet.

And,
with my final step,
We fell
Out of love.

I watch the sun,
as it falls with you and I.
And the moon rise,
As we sink into that sea.

With your earth and my bones
Broken, I think,
To myself,
'I am sorry.'

I let myself fall Into love.
And now,
We carry pieces of each
Of our broken hearts.

Like trinkets,
Souvenirs from places
We wished we visited,
Together.

Pieces tied
Together
With string
And tape

Hoping,
Maybe,
Somehow,
They will fix themselves.

Only to realise,
This was never
meant to be.
We weren't made for eachother.
