Sometimes I fall into the deep

Into the black depths of reality and truth 

Standing on the edge of the void, waiting to leap 

Watching myself fall, or standing above it all

There are only so many bottles of vermouth

So many things in the world that can keep us upright

So many things that can keep our pain out of sight

But I just wanted to leap

And you were only ever obtuse

I hope you find whatever it is that keeps you upright

Because you were that spine for me

But you only reap what you reap

Until you can see
