Catch Me?

It was as though my heart stopped beating.
All the air inside my lungs was quickly fleeting.

I sat there in awe wondering what had just transpired.
Were those words lovely and sincere, or is he simply a liar?

The floor was removed from under my stiff frame.
As I drifted downward all I could sense was flames.

I was falling faster down this tunnel of doom.
With my hair shooting up in a disastrous plume.

My face went white, for I was sure it was the end.
I should have known his words were fabricated and his love was pretend.

So I closed my eyes and prepared for impact with the ground.
For I never got that far, since he caught me without a sound.
