As It Seems

Throw it at me,
watch me twist and turn.
Soak me in it,
and let me burn.

All my fears,
and insecurity.
You're trying your best,
and you may just get the best of me.

I am slowly losing my will.
as well as my grip.
You don't have to make the effort
to shove me down farther,
as I'm already starting to slip.

I've already forgotten why
I was holding on in the first place.
I'll just look to the darkening sky,
and hope I end up in that vast, e n d l e s s space.

I'm only going to last,
a short while longer.
Why don't you say what you need to say now?
I'm not getting any stronger.

Breathe your breath in my face.
There's nothing I'd like more.
Tell me all about how it was ME that was wrong,
all the while, edging toward the door.

If I was wrong,
why are you running?
It's the realization that I am right,
that's going to push me off this precipice
tonight.

Go ahead,
lay all the blame on me.
Don't worry your ugly little head,
just lie down and go to sleep.

I'll hang here for now,
but I will haunt your dreams.
You know it's me that's right.
And all is exactly as it seems.
