and here. you’re closer. imminent perhaps/and you are flying: two birds. Two/birds but/you came back. we’re on this wire and i say
was it worth it

and you’re asking
what

and i say
the vengeance in your eyes. was it worth it

and you stop talking/stare over the edge/you won’t jump because you’re flightless./or maybe that’s why you’ll jump.

and you turn to me/scarred
no

and i nod my head because i know/that all you did was take and take and take until both of/you were gone
that’s what i thought

and you hold my hand/we burn.
thank you
