Fly

I set my feet down
beside your feet
pointed them in a direction
and tried to fly
tangled
in my messy heart
I watched you
you took off
never looked back
to see me fall
to watch me fall
and I knew then, too
that it wasn't that
you didn't care
but rather
my pain
was too painful
my sorrow
too sorrowful
and you
couldn't bear the weight
of my saddness
on your shoulders
or else
you couldn't fly
