Hold On

Arms wide open

When the last rock has crumbled
And you’re holding on to the very edge
Slipping away where the unknown linger
As the apprehension grows, you’ve lost grip to the last finger
The rocks give away and the sweat builds to your head
Just the mention of “rock bottom” isn't too far ahead
Though in reality, that’s how it tends to feel
Falling face forward in something less real
I remember the time when I was at that stage
It seems so far now, almost a different age
When we were at the rocky part of the path
Where we hurt one another for each other's behalf
I almost fell and lost the grips too
But when things came crashing down on that avalanche
I began to think the highest of you
Loving you is something that you can’t find in a book
I just held on, and that seemed the best advice I ever took

Holding on can be a good thing when it needs to be... Falling sometimes helps even when we don't think so... Nice write

Thanks for the kind word.
