Fall Harder - Fractures

All I’d ever kept in mind

Somehow I’d forgotten

I’d do well to shut my mouth

If only for a while

I believe it’s been my faults

That separate

I would rather slit my throat

Better than to let you go

I could never lift your load

Full-time with a winged arm

I could never feel that whole

Fall harder, fall harder

I can barely hold my step

From the weight I’m towing

I would never keep you there

Only I would come undone

I don’t want to lose someone to a lapse of mind

Trapped in comatose

I don’t want to need someone if I can’t turn back

Stuck for what it’s worth

I could never lift your load

Full-time with a winged arm

I could never feel that whole

Fall harder, fall harder

I’d be living with your ghost

Stuck in a photograph

I could never fill that hole

Fall harder, fall harder

Sewn you into memory lines

A thought that won’t unfurl

Only one, only one decides

The rest are blurring lines

Thoughts begin to complicate

To blur a static line

Only one, only one design

A fixture not a false

I could never lift your load

Full-time with a winged arm

I could never feel that whole

Fall harder, fall harder

I could never lift your load

Full-time with a winged arm

I could never feel that whole

Fall harder, fall harder

I’d be living with your ghost

Stuck in a photograph

I could never fill that hole

Fall harder, fall harder
