sometimes when i close my eyes
it feels as if i am falling
so i snap them open once more
and fall into the relief of stability

sometimes before i sleep
it feels as if i am falling
so i wake up once more
with a kick and an exhaled puff of air

sometimes when i stand on the edge
it feels as if i am falling
so i step back once more
and wish i was brave enough to fly

sometimes when i think of you
it feels as if i am falling
so i forget you once more
and pretend that you never existed
