How did your eyes get so deep?
Over the edge and I’m falling in.
Dropping ever faster, no end in sight,
Just the rush of your air against my skin.
Like Alice in the rabbit-hole,
I’ve no clue where I’m headed.
Could be the bright place I dream about
Or the dark one I’ve always dreaded.
I can see you much more clearly
From here, behind your eyes.
I can see all that you didn’t want seen,
Raw truths beneath the lies.
We’re much too close for comfort now.
I’m hopelessly ensnared
In traps you never meant to set,
Behind eyes now wide and scared.
As I fall I slip past defenses
Erected so long ago.
They’re old and worn and outdated now,
But you’re not letting go.
It’s time to release, time to move on,
Yet you’re stuck somewhere in the past.
You cling to your castles, fences, and chains,
Protection from a future blast.
But like it or not, time continues.
It’s as if you don’t understand.
You miss where you’re going and fear where you’re from –
Seems like you could use a hand.
Falling, falling, no ropes or wings.
The speed rips at my breath.
I search for exits but there are none in sight.
Surely this fall ends in my death.
There’s no way to turn back around
And now I’m paralyzed with fear.
Fear for you, fear for me,
For what I might find here.
Because as I plummet I realize
(While I try in vain to flee)
That as I fall deeper into you,
I’m falling into me.
