On Top of the World

Up here
On the top of the world
There’s nowhere to go
But down
The blood pounds
The light drowns
And all I can hear
Is you

And your heavenly
Sounds
Way up here
On the tippy top
Where all I can see
Is below
Where the feelings grow
Where the words flow
Where all I have
I bestow
On you
And when I’m above
When I’m here on top
All I can do
Is be
No more mediocrity
Or satisfactory
Because for you
I decree
To be better
Up in the sky
Way over my worth
I see more
And know more
And feel more
It heats
My core
You are
My lure
And I can tell
I can tell
What you have
In store
Way up like a bird
I soar
With the planes
It’s freeing
I’m being
I’m finally
Seeing
I feel
The rush
And notice
The power
But the ground
It’s so far
And I’m turning
Sour
And the wind
It devours
And I can’t stop
The downward
It’s swirling
And mixing
And I find the
Coward
Inside of my heart
And under my skin
And there’s no possibility
That I could
Win
Just pull me in
And take me away
Anything
To get out of this
Place
I’m on top of the world
Or so I think
And damnit if this poem
Isn’t a jinx
But you’re here
And I’m here
And it feels like
Forever
And when the rain comes
We’ll fall down
Together.
