fear of falling
By Perkele
You watched me walk a tightrope
With a grin on my face
A small
sliver of fear
In my eyes
I made my way to the middle
Felt the bow go deep
Bravado seeping away
Replaced
Did you know of
The frayed ends
The slipping knots
Did you smile
When I toppled
End over end
Vertigo
took hold
The laws of gravity
Your face
Filling my mind
The moment I hit
