Had to Give

I didn’t write this in ths subway, but I wrote mostly in one pass. Just a typo…I feel like I’m gushing with content right now.

This may be the last time
I cross against this bridge.
This should be the last time
I walk along this ridge.
I never needed any of what you had to give…

But I took too long
I am no longer strong
And I knew something
had to give…

Soaring outside of my body
I saw what life could be
Through the eyes of others
Who were already free.

This may be the last time
I scale against this wall
This should be the last time
That I’ll take this fall
I never needed any of what you had to give…

But I took too long
I am no longer strong
And I knew something
had to give…

Flying above the trees
Looking over the seas
It is time for me…
