Two Reasons.

Two Reasons.

A Poem by Rebecca Hope Rouston
"

I don't know what this is, but it's not a poem. It's more of a rambling, venting paragraph cause I cannot seem to take the time now to put this into poetic words.

"
I'm letting you know now, I am at a loss for words
I will not write well, but I don't really care what you or anyone else thinks
No one can judge my writing and see that they've never written anything worse
This applies to my choices as well
So every breath feels like I'm breathing in ocean water
And I can see the fire ahead, but I keep walking
I know I don't have a parachute, so I dart faster for the cliffs edge
See where this is going?
I'm dying
No matter what I do, every reason I feel I have to step out
Out of the water, out of the fire, away from the cliff
I find two reasons why it's perfectly normal for me to stay there
I know this may seem utterly foolish
I mean, who wants to be suffocated, burned, or crushed to death?
That's not the point
You'd take anything to see that the one you're in love with is happy
Even if that means your own life, correct?
That's reason one to stay here
Now, the feeling I get when she creases her eyebrows
And gets this look of pain and surrender in her eyes
You know the face I'm talking about
And you know the feeling I'm talking about
That would be reason two
And that's all the reason I need to stay exactly where I am
I will not be the cause for her end
I love her too damn much
