I fell…

I fell.

Climbing precariously:

Toe-holds crumbling,

Fingers bloodied,

Muscles trembling,

An insane desire:

A choice,

An appetite,

Indulged by decision,

Against my own Heart…

Falling,

Failed persistence,

Bloodied on a ledge,

Hopeless,

Convicted of stupidity,

Reaching for Love,

Cheating Death,

Cold winds howl,

Sunrise calls,

I climb.
