3.5
seconds…
Taking
resistance
Mass
Distance
And velocity
into account…
In 3.5
seconds I would hit the deserted asphalt.
I couldn’t imagine with such a short amount of time
30
years could flash before my eyes.
Even
without enthralling adventures
That’s
just a lot of your years to fit into seconds.
You do
however
You
always do - it seems.
Flashes
of the times we spent together
From the
unorthodox first meeting
To the
many break ups before you finally gave up
When
we were good… we were good
But when
we were bad… we were really bad
I played
a huge part in the prolonged hostility
Hiding
behind my pride
Hiding
behind my silence
Ignoring
your constant attempts at stripping away my amour
Yet, foolishly
thinking you would never leave
But here
I am…
Awaiting
this brain to be switched off
By the
unyielding ground
Now seemingly
even faster approaching
With less
than 3.5 seconds
Basking
in the draft of clarity
To
find this notion was untrue
The
impossible has now become possible
The
fracture in my reality.
My
insecurities made me half the person I could have been
Yes MY
insecurities
They
were the ones that hurt you
For
not accepting you
For
not letting you in
For
not holding you enough
For
not letting you know how much you mean to mean to me
For
not saying I…
