Letting Go and Hanging On

Climbing and Crawling

falling and slipping

here i am

trying to get off
of this mountain

i can't find my way...

I guess
while following you i fell
astray

the rocks got higher

the walk was steeper

but i kept plunging deeper

trying my hardest to
catch up with you but

failing through it all

trying my hardest not to fall

but the more i tried
the harder it was to keep myself
up

and thinking of you made it
worse

thinking of our times together
and
how we said they would last forever
made me feel,
i couldn't go on

i tried and tried

even though every time i
sat my foot down it wouldn't let
it come back up

The next thing i knew
the rock i was standing on
started to crack

and

i tried to move so i wouldn't
tumble and fall
but i couldn't do anything
but stand still

even though i knew that
i would fall to my doom

that my life as it existed
would be gone

everything i worked for failed

i willed myself the strength to move but my heart was too strong

the rock i was on fell right out from under me

and when i looked down, there was the sea...

I was falling to my death

where i could finally put you to rest

that wasn't what i wanted to do....

I STILL needed, wanted YOU

even though my heart said no,

my head said yes

falling through mid air
thinking about you........

Sorta ironic....
i didn't see my life flash before my eyes...

i just saw YOU

the one i believed in

who i claimed to love from deep within

my hand reached up
and i grabbed a hold
of a ledge

but i didn't have the support
to lift myself up

I was fighting to live
fighting to be with you

TO LOVE YOU................

My heart was too heavy
to let me hold on

it knew that i
didn't belong

and I'd be better off without you

Maybe it's right

maybe it's true

But I'll never know

because i let go.......

of

the Rock

and

YOU........................................
