over the cliff July 2012

 

why does it always reach this point

 this point of no return

 where love wears out

after having rubbed

 the wrong stone for too long

why can't we find solid ground to stand on

 before we reach the edge of a cliff

before we fall off

with nothing not even each other

to cling to

since when one falls so does the other

 even if we end up landing in different places

 why does life always take us to the brink

where in a blink we must choose

to hold back or pull off

 and we go over when we want to hold on

our feet never able to stick to Stone

 and stay there

slipping and sliding

with the rain of gravel

 the small things, the mistaken moments

always the end of what we assumed

 at the start would last forever

what's left to hold on to if we lack each other

 what's left to cling to

if one goes over and not both
