Fortuity
It only takes one jump
and then you're falling.
You feel your heart drop,
and then you're reaching for the sides...
You can't grab on to what you've lost
The slick steel walls fly past and cross
Disillusioned figures cry
Creeping past you in the sky
You're standing but have no ground
Falling still, but make no sound
Milliseconds stretch to days
Wind rips into your rib cage
You hear the crack but feel no pain
See the blood but dodge the train
Find your focus, shed a tear
Speak once more for all to hear
It's closer now, the ground below
Sidewalks where crude masses grow
They all glance up and freeze like deer
Faces that you know appear...
You panic, flail, shoo them off
Time speeds up, there's not enough
Hands fly up to shield your face
I didn't mean to hurt them...
