leap of faith

Lost in thought
scared to make the transition
from heart broken
to one who loves
scared that
this new soul
with eyes deeper
then whirl pools
could bring
my tattered torn heart
a new pain
a new pleasure
god knows i love it
see the truth
close my eyes
and run right into it
when every fiber of my being
is screaming "run away"
taking another chance
jumping head over heels
off a cliff
the fear is temporary
the rush even more fleeting
the pain when you smack the bottom
is a mix of torture and euphoria
but the off chance that something
just might save you...
makes it all worth the leap.
