Vertigo

Vertigo


I am torn between
A desire to let go
And a will to hold on
And take the blow

I look below
And it lures me down
Step lightly on thin air
And in these winds drown

I take a deep breath
And look down again
My hands grip the railing
It drives me insane

There is no ground
I am on a tower so tall
I am called below
A desire to free fall

From infinty to infinity
I fall continuously
And no known rush greater
Than terminal velocity

One leg over the railing
And now the other
I give into my desire
And surrender to vertigo
