somewhere, along the way
maybe between
the rising expectation
and your imminent failure
maybe you got torn
when you stretched your arms
trying to reach around the past
and the future
all at once
maybe you got sick
on the speed boat
maybe you got whiplash
when it screeched to a halt
or choked a bit
when the water came too high
when for the first time
it was all too much
you pull me in
i am swept along for the ride
in the thick of the madness
the beautiful mess
shock factor of this
highest highs
and lowest lows
i cry with laughter
and then you devastate me.
i know i can’t see
all the layers in there
i just see the outside
roll my eyes at the drama
and gasp at the heart attack
shake hands with new characters
that enter your act
marvel at the heights you climb
and the darkness you descent to
and still it’s all see through
i know you don’t mean to
i know you don’t know
still we clap at the colors
of your firework show
