Hold on to you.

in #poetry6 years ago



Hold on to you.

I hold on to you,
so fast that it is impossible to let go.
Unbearable to loosen up.
I cling to you
And I know I shouldn't.
While I'm still clinging
You are still free,
Building ties,
Bonds,
In other worlds,
Without me.

Sometimes I feel
That the time has come,
The time to sunder the rope.
I see roads and mountains with their suns and stars.
Sometimes I think
That the the time is here,
To wander, to explore.
My face shines,
But I look back,
And then I hold on to you,
So fast that it is impossible to let go,
Unbearable to loosen up, and while I'm still clinging, you are free,
Without me.
