Before the fall I
held you,
clasped you
tighter than death,
determined that
together we’d rise
on the yearning
of your love.
And on my wings
we’d fly above
all and
everything that matters here.
but were my
embraces too tight,
as I watched the
glittering light
of hope and
promise squeezed out of your eyes?
And though your
elementals cover you,
grip you, all
they do is smother you.
What can either
of us do to stop your cries?
For if I don’t
let go,
you’ll tear:
this much I know…
Torn by my ever
tightening grip.
But if I let go
you’ll disappear,
and realise my
deepest fear
Of melting into
solid stone.
Leaving me…alone
