Dropped Over The Edge

Dropped Over The Edge

I am sorry
     that when the world stopped
     for just an instant
     I dropped over the edge
Earth could not keep me
Seas didn't catch me
     to wash me ashore

Sit here
     with me
     be still
     ssshhhhhh
I move for you
     in shadows if you look
     at walls
     gaps of doors
Here I once jumped
     thumps remembered
     faded through
     windows, opened

I once whispered
     smiles still linger
     in melodies
Songs, dances reverberate
     bounce
     against walls
     through doors

In every breathe you take
     some love of me
     floats into you
     fills your lungs
You will smile

     love again
