Falling

5.19.2014

By Mercedes ChavezPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I kept pleading with myself to be strong

"Do everything you can to not fall."

But it happened... I found myself slipping

Slipping into what I knew could be the biggest heartbreak

I wouldn't do it, I knew better

I shouldn't, have but I did

I couldn't resist the pull I felt to you

I fought it with every ounce of strength in me

But there was no resisting you

I needed to feel you here with me

But I knew that was a dangerous game to play

It was over, I began to fall

And all I could do...

Was hope that your arms would be there to catch me.
