Not Alone

I fell…

It wasn’t sudden,

I could feel it coming.

 

But I tried,

Oh how I tried!

To keep standing.

 

It didn’t work…

Or rather,

It only worked a little.

 

My legs gave out

And my arms grasped what was close

Staying up was anything but a coast.

 

Then arms wrapped around me

Lifted me up

And in safe arms I didn’t have to gulp.
