Please don’t let me fall again
I don’t think these knees could handle it
if I were to miss
thanks to arms that aren’t open
It takes too long to find my feet
but the allure is just too strong
to keep from reaching out
to hold the unobtainable
The wall will surely fade away
an illusion of the circumstances
…but it never works that way
I always hit the concrete
collapsed under the weight
of all the insecurities
once held at bay by possibility
But once the truth is understood
The wall comes up, the arms are folded
and once again there’s nothing left
to hold me as I disappear
Stretching out to take ahold
of something that was never there
A victim of the fantasy
I could’ve sworn I’ve seen before
Lord, let this be the time
Let this path be open
and let me find the strength it takes
to follow down the road
that she wanders also…
