If Life Doesn't Kill You, Emptiness Will.

Tightrope

Always ten steps ahead of me
Where does it get you?
Why do you need to go so quickly?
I'm slipping
How are you keeping your balance?
I don't know how to further myself
I keep my arms out
I hold my breath
You still walk faster than me
It feels like the rope is breaking
I tumble and fall
Down a dark, dark abyss
And yet I watch as you make it across
You reach the other side
I've given up
You didn't even encourage me
This tightrope has tied itself
It's tied around my neck
Tightening even more
