just blink 3 times

and this time
you poured the oil
stood below waiting
hoping
wanting me to slip.

before,
oh the times before,
i jumped
dove down
hoping you'd see me and catch me
save me from the pain i'd feel
the searing, eye watering, pain
frozen and alone
fired up from falling
trying to heal the cuts and pains
rid myself of them before anyone saw

still i found myself presistant
i jumped again
dove to the depths
i fell again
i was hurt again

this was so different
i was just happening by
finally getting away from this crowd who was suffocating me
just as they caught up with me
hounding out my trail
i fell
i slipped on the oil
falling down
spiralling to my 3rd painful death
the death i knew was coming
the death that would mark me finished with you completely
and suddenly i stopped falling
suddenly something caught me
suddenly all i could see was you and me
suddenly...
yes
it all happened so suddenly
