Dangling Ties
By MGood
Terrified of Falling
Discouraged
I admit
Dangling over Heartache's Edge
Staring down at it's bottomless pit
A silent prayer I begin
I don't know how I got here
I can't remember where I have been
Did I jump
Or
Did I slip
Did I try
Or did I trip
Did I lead
Or
Was I led
If given warning
Might I have Fled
This tie that binds us
Just how strong is it
How much wait
Can it take
How much time
Can it stand
We are suspended now
By it
Now we are taunting Fate
Over time I have learned
To look Before I leap
But I have lept
And I am Still looking...
