PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I spend

my days and nights

out here on this ledge.

Waiting for you

to come and talk me down,

or catch me

when I fall.

Give me a reason, Darling.

I stand up here

for you,

awaiting your decision.

Will it be I tonight,

or some other?

If it is I

then your sweet words

shall bring me down softly.

But speak of another

and I shall fall

fast and harsh.

It's only made better

if you are waiting

at the bottom.

Maybe one day

you won't be.

I'll stand on this ledge

waiting

and you won't

offer your hand to me.

I will fall

and I will hit the pavement.

Then try and find

another

who will live

on a ledge

for you.
