Alleviate
September 1, 2012
You're hanging on
by your fingertips
grip loosening by
fractions
growing oh so weary
of the effort
you can't take the
risk of a firmer grasp
shifting might cause
you to fall
so you hold on
by your finger tips
no one around to
hear your screams
to pull you back
up
no one around to
see your arms trembling
to watch as you finally
let go.
