for he said

     "what is easier, my dear? falling in love, or closing your eyes as you jump from the cliff?"

and without being morbid she replied

     "tie me to the rope that hangs from the ceiling
          because my heart aches too much to trust either."

Great Big Storm

My concerns are not insignificant
because, dammit, I'm trying.
I'm trying.

My concerns are not insignificant
I just need a hand to hold
but instead
all I ever get is reprimanding lips
and condescending tones
and broken promises
and waved hands.

Maybe I have a problem
but my concerns are not insignificant.
I just want to know the truth
truth
truth
is such an ugly word.

I'm just trying to hold my own.
I'm trying.
I just want to know the truth
truth
truth
is such an ugly word.
