another almost

Another close call

Another near fall

Another almost.

So close to losing

So scared of choosing

To bear this ghost.

Another halt right before the wall

Another jerk; a stop or stall?

Once again we've come to this

Once again, it's hit and miss

When will drench turn drought?

When will luck run out?

Tunnels and white lights snatched back

Cold words and white looks retract

Air in lungs

Blood in veins

Will this be

But RAM in brains?

Let this be the last

Let the need disappear

Let this feeling remain

Let the heart persevere

No more awkward silences

As water crashes down

No more worlds apart

While in the same town

No more calls close.

No more almosts.
