Screaming off the Cliff

Between Us

I tried to level the ground between us,
I tried to be strong and confident and brave.
I tried to let you know I love you,
but yours is not the love I crave.

There is no ground lying between us,
you pulled it out from under my feet.
And you’re shouting at me “to fly, to fly!”
But my lungs are gasping and my wings won’t beat.

There’s so much love that’s lost between us,
so many memories that we could share.
And the thoughts of what we could be together…
They’re the ones that I can’t bear.
