freefalling

it’s been so long

I fell asleep midair

it was easy -- 

I thought I was safe

the breeze told me to close my eyes

his arms around me comforted me

I couldn’t feel him start to pull away

I couldn’t see the ground coming closer

I thought we were flying,

not falling?

everything shattered

when we hit the bottom

there I am now

arms spread out

looking up

back in reality again

Alone.
