the way you love him
makes me remember
the way i used to love before
when i gave everything
and didn't hold anything back-
now consequences
have sharpened caution
i want to test
safety nets
before jumping
but
look at you,
reckless nose-diver
putting us all to shame
you prefer broken bones to a hollow heart?
i can hear the air around you
whispering
take heart, take heart
even if it breaks
and takes
years, to simply learn
to love yourself again
take heart
and there you are
you've jumped
without ropes or nets or cords
but i can see
those moments of delight
when i, and all watching
could have sworn, by god,
that your fall
was truly
flight.
