Falling Through


Walking on tissue paper I thought was steel

Truly believing in my heart, it was Real

Can I find the courage to cross back over that line

Knowing that I could fall through again at any time?

How can I convince my heart to trust once again

To keep my eyes on the future and dare to dream of what could be ahead?

Step too roughly and down I'd fall,

Right on through the scraps of it all

Let me tell you, the jagged rocks below tear me apart

And they're never mindful of my delicate heart

I crane my neck to look at the hole I fell through

Did he even notice? If he didn't ..what should I do?
