You dance on the cliffside of breakdowns
always a smile on your face
Maybe to hide something harsh beneath
or a ploy for selfish sympathy
I can see your steps in the canyon stone
steps I know so very well
They move yet also drag, like uncertainty
I'm uncertain how close I am to the edge
There's a sadness in me I cannot explain
why it exists
what it wants
or where it came from
all I know is the feeling when it comes
A darkness covering all my daylight
even on a sunny day
with beloved mutual company
Shadows turn my thoughts against me
until I'm alone
scrounging for a flicker of light
