Masochism/The Love of Gravity

[MASOCHISM]

Why do I always want the things

That are just beyond my reach

But not the things

That would help me

Reach them?

Thar would help me

Climb out of this hole?

Why won't I reach out

To the people reaching for me

When I know I'm sick of being alone?

The ticks of the clock

Are sucking the blood out of me.

I'm sinking.

No leg to stand on...

But I just won't climb the rope.

[THE LOVE OF GRAVITY]

I'm so glad

Water doesn't go uphill.

Things would never wash away.

The rains would never come

And replenish the earth.

And I would never feel better.

I'd never escape from my tears.

I hope you enjoyed it.
