(no subject)
walking across such fragile glass
i feel my heart race as it cracks beneath my toes
and i extend my child like hands to you
but you only smile and say
"its a small step you can make it on your own"
i hesitate and as i stand it cracks once again
i am frozen just reaching to you
my eyes swell with tears
and yet you still won't reach for me
so i make the choice to fall standing here
or to fall trying to get there
i take a step and a deep breath
then the ground falls away
i feel my heart race as it cracks beneath my toes
and i extend my child like hands to you
but you only smile and say
"its a small step you can make it on your own"
i hesitate and as i stand it cracks once again
i am frozen just reaching to you
my eyes swell with tears
and yet you still won't reach for me
so i make the choice to fall standing here
or to fall trying to get there
i take a step and a deep breath
then the ground falls away
