fall

[dragonfell]

all around.
she stares into the shadows
of a world that falls.
the bridge that soars so high above rushing water,
the man thats heart is broken,
the woman that health fails.
we all fall.
she is loosing everything,
even me.

Perhaps it is because distance
has become so irrelivant,
that even what is near
has become cold.

all around.
she stares into the waters,
of a river of tears.
the water swept him away,
the noose took him to slumber,
the unknown left her family in peices.
we all fall.
she feels like pure heartache,
i still cry.

Perhaps this is the effect of knowing
more than we ever should,
if i did not connect here
i never ever would.

all around.
she tells me i am falling,
i stand upon that bridge,
and i stare down at the water.
i know how he felt,
when he lost himself to sorrow,
and i understand how it must be
awaiting on a hospital.
i do not wish to know all these things,
she feels me falling
i've become weak.

Perhaps one should learn
of loss more than gain,
for it seems in this world
we mostly find pain.

it comes daily.

a friend jumps off a bridge and dies.
a friends ex commits suicide because she wont take him back.
a friends little cousin, 6 years old, is filled off a 4-wheeler and killed when it lands on him.
a friends sister falls to something unknow in another country, while family anxiously await news.

how do we know who falls next?
you? me? my love? yours?
how do we have hope to live
when everything falls so quickly around us.
