there's this feeling,
it's the feeling of
falling,
          falling,
                     falling...
it's the feeling of
no-air-in-my-lungs,
no-room-to-breathe-to-scream-to-fall

it's trapped in a glass box
touching the edges gently with your palms
and no one helps you
because no one can see

there's a word
in my mind -- there are
tons of words,
lovely words
and i would like to
fill a book with them.

i would call this book
'lyrics that aren't played on a lyre'
because of the melodies
inside my head

i will never say that i am
beautiful, i am trying to
never use that word again,

because like love it is
overrated,
meaningless.

{yet everyone still wants to hear it}

when i die i will be
falling,
          falling,
                    falling...
and as i hit the ground i decide
you will be the last to know.
D: i have lost the ability to write half-decent poetry..
whatever. hope you like.
{p.s. i'm serious about the book title.}

they were never played
on lyres, because they
were on heaven's harps.
