Everyone who is ever born

Is born to love

Without this deepness

This trust

Many have failed

To find what they need

And satisfy themselves

In nights and parties and in masks

You have forever been

A creature of this sort

So why do I find you now

On my doorstep pleading me

Without your mask

Nothing but sorrow and hope and need

Fully prepared to be broken again

Knowing that no one

Will catch you if you fall

And doing these impossible acrobats I require

Of you

Even though you know you could never

Make it all the way

You aren’t the first to try

Nor will you be the last

But you are the first

To except the fall

The crash and burn

Just to say

‘I really did love you’

And know that I never tell you that

I wish you could win

Like no one else could
