The Wrong Person

Pushing and Falling

By Abigail WadsworthPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Things are set in stone

I set him free with a push off the cliff of my own unannounced fears

He fell farther than I wished

I fell with him only he softened my fall

He was crushed twice for my inability to live with myself

I wish I had be brave

I wish i had worked it out

I wish that I didn’t push him to fall

I wish I had just fallen myself

We don’t speak anymore

It’s as if the other doesn’t exist

It’s my fault and I know that

It’s my fault and I hope he understands that

Before I pushed him I thought we had what it took

My demons didn’t think so

I infected him through myself

He loved someone who couldn’t be loved

And for that I am forever sorry
