Dissolve between the lines

You feel nothing here belongs to you,
You see that no one understands.
You walk forward — the night hides your tracks from view,
And with each step, the window gets close, and the world expands.
The illusion of life, like an open book — the window is near,
Be brave, take a step — dissolve between the lines here.

You can fly up high or crash below,
But the ledge won't let you stay, you know.
You still can turn and go back if you try,
But you can't bring back what's gone, no matter how you cry.
The slippery ledge will help you wake from the dream,
And going back is just another sleep, it would seem.

You can just step off — and put a full stop,
You can make a leap, starting a new paragraph.
And if you break — it's just a dot, a drop,
But if you fly — it's an exclamation's path!
The illusion of life, like an open book — the window is near,
Be brave, take a step — dissolve between the lines here.
