Don’t Let Go
11.25.07

just don’t let go, I beg
through chocolate-melted tears
I won’t, he swears,
even as his fingers slip on liquid Hershey Kisses
and then I fall
with the notes of one thousand broken promises
left ringing in my ears

I fall with a lovely, trumpet-sounding crash
climbing back up,
band-aiding up my shards of broken skin
and then I look up
how beautiful Rock Bottom looks from here
