Keep Falling

I’m falling

Keep telling myself it’s not wise

You will always seem

Two seconds shy of a couple more lies

Another dance away

From a lady on the side

Because that’s what I am

The darkness you hide

I’m still falling

But I see it in your eyes

I’ll lose my dignity

You’ll keep your pride

A few steps back

Since the last time we tried

The paint was peeling

Should have waited outside

It’ll all be gone soon, though

Swept away with the tide

Invisible hands

Wiping tears left uncried

You’ll empty the ocean

I’ll let it slide

And I’ll keep on falling

Until I’m too tired

At My Throat

You already know
I’ve said it before
Many times
It’s still hard to tell you
I can’t speak
I can barely breathe
Your hands are at my throat
They’re at my throat
My legs are shaking
My heart is racing
Time is running out
I’ve never felt so weak
I’ve reached my peak
You’re underneath me
Looking into my eyes
And your hands are at my throat
They’re at my throat
You make it hard to hide
Touch me so deeply
Emotionally
Now physically
Never leaving me numb
I’m trembling
How can I fall any further
Than in this moment, now
When your hands are at my throat?
