Hold your Breath

I don’t want to fall in love

 

The sensation must feel something

 

Like the jolt you get falling asleep

 

No, I don’t want to fall in love

 

With the lurching unwanted

 

Suddenness of love

 

If I were to fall in love

 

It would be planned, deliberate

 

Careful steps down a steep incline

 

A slip here, stumble there

 

But never weightlessness

 

Does it mean something different

 

To fall in love vs walking in love

 

Does the planned precision of it all

 

Steal away the magic

 

Is magic something I want

 

Mixed in with love

 

It could cloud my eyes

 

And I would lose my way

 

Maybe that’s how people

 

Fall off the ledge

 

Without magic is love even possible

 

Is falling into the abyss inevitable

 

To prolong lead to nothing but further heartache

 

Am I losing air up here

 

On the ledge and the only way

 

To survive is to dive

 

Walking takes to long leaving me to suffocate on the way

 

Long before I reach the bottom

 

I have yet to want to be in love

 

But I wonder if that’s because

 

I walk not jump
