I don't usually write poetry,
so when I do there should be rejoicing. And bonfires in the streets.
"I am glad to the brink of fear." –Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Brink
There are many edges,
Ledges, and the metaphorical cliff
To fall from.
And now I think we've found one,
Because I am glad
To the brink of fear.
And although you claim
That letting go
Might not be so bad,
I think I'll stay here.
At the brink I remain,
Watching your form shrink
And disappear.
It's a long way down.
