A love poem about wanting to fall but scared of the heights you have to fall from.

Love's Precipice 

A child is supposed to be 

resilient, 

and guarded. 

I know a little girl 

who slipped and fell. 

Head first over the 

cliff she went. 

No one caught her, 

tried to save her, 

or reach her. 

Blind eyes 

and 

deaf ears. 

That's what she was taught. 

~ 

A woman is supposed to be 

independent, 

and strong. 

I know a woman 

who wants to take the leap. 

But is afraid of heights. 

She wants to be caught 

by the arms of love. 

Desires to “fix” herself. 

For just one to prove her wrong. 

Open hearts 

and 

matching souls. 

That's what she longs for most.
