i looked before i leapt
and found myself falling
...toppling with the tower all the same.
i softened my heart
and still heard it shatter
... like shrieking needles up my spine.
i gave you my all
and you begged me for more.
and when i gave you that too
this empty shell deflated.
wilted.
collapsed and imploded.
and these broken pieces of me
were left lying lifeless
upon these dusty floorboards
cold and catatonic.
my deadened eyes watched life's speeding freight-train blow past me.
that's when i realized that i had given up hope.
