A Worthy Life

Sometimes you just let things be, 
until one day, they set you free....
and as you leap into the night, 
you find your wings aren't meant for flight

and as you fall to death below,

you think of seeds you had to sow,

all the roles you had to play,

all her demons you had to slay

you wish for another chance,

a long goodbye, one last dance,

but as you fall, you realise,

that for her smile to reach her eyes,

to enliven her every breath,

it took your fall, it took your death.
