One Step Too Far
I’m intrigued
Confusion became my middle name
If I spent a thousand years
You’ll still be one step too far from me
When finally it felt sane
You came along
With a handful of madness
And swept me off my feet
It’s exhilarating
But suffocating
And I find it hard to take my breath
When you’re one step too far.
I should have landed
On a velvet ground
But I’m still swept
Suspended
Between your intricate threads
Landing on a thorny bush
And no one to relieve me
When you're just one step too far.
