BEEN ON THE CURB

I've been there in days of yore,
Hitting the floor unceasingly.
I've spent a lifetime working,
And I always get away.
But with you, I feel something,
And that makes me want to stay.

If I risk it all,
Will you breach my fall?
How can I be vital?
How do I breathe, and when?
You're remote, I'm asphyxiating.
I want to feel love lope within my blood.

Tell me, is this where I foreswore all?
For you, I have to risk it all,
'Cause the cacography is on the wall.

A million fragments of glass
Haunt me from my past times.
As the stars begin to gather,
And the light begins to fade,
When all promises begin to shatter,
Know that I won't be afraid,
Because I've always been
The curb you want to kick me on, unceasingly.
