Flying Away || Poetry

Just Not Able

Your eyes are glassy

And mine have spilled over

Like a brook into an ocean

I know I said I wouldn't, but I did

I forgot I wasn't invincible

I took a step over the cliff,

And took you with me

And I'm sorry it's over

But I couldn't hold on

I promise I tried

I'm just not able

But I promise I tried to save you

Because I promised I would always help you

But I'm just not able
