Backwards

This is a new one, hope the ideas come across well.

Falling backwards out a window

one hundred stories up.

I must enjoy this fall to avoid a snub.

They only gave me this sensation as a fair consolation.

So I gave up.

...Oh! There was one more.

Years before the fall.

A blank white page was offered

to give my feelings space.

But as soon as they were written,

ink bleeding on the page,

I saw my feelings ruin

yet another saving grace.

So then I was left just one,

and I took it in a beat.

And this scribble penned in haste

occupies the moment in the space

between the fall and relief,

and one last ruined pure white leaf.

I loved the fire out of your last stanza,
Amazing like the "White leaf" Imagery.
This is very well written. Like the
emotions expressed.
