Wires stretch above cold water footsteps counting one two three Heartbeat tangled in hesitation echoes pulling back to me Wind erasing old intentions edges blur I slip unseen Step by step the bridge remembers every ghost I've ever been Hands unsteady holding silence thinner air and deeper doubt crossing over never spoken what comes in won't come out Beneath my ribs a quiet fracture hidden promise open sky every truth I left behind me is just another careful lie Now too far to reconsider one more breath I'm not the same on the edge of disappearing I whisper softly my own name
