The cold air turned her bones to liquid fire
Her mind was spinning,
Beginning to float above
The rest of her
The tears were streaming now
Her breathe was short and ragged
Her eyes saw a different street
A different time
Her mind reminded her just how
Alone
She really is
She clenched the leash in her hand
Feeling as if she stood in a hurricane
It was the only think keeping her
From being blown away
Her legs started to tremble
How easy it would be
To just let them give way
Let her hand release the leash,
Let her body crash to the ground
The cold had numbed her by now
She stumbled
Barely catching herself
Falling once
How easy it would have been
To rest her head right there,
Sleep for awhile, until they found her
But she got up, took baby steps back
Collapsed to her bed
Regrets of not staying on that ground
Filling her head
Babe, I love you. And this is beautifully written. But you know that you gotta get back up every time you fall, because it only makes you stronger. (two sayings in one, perhaps?) But I love you. Let me know if you need anything ever. I'll be here.
