""Get a grip""
  by WrItN4aPurpse


Here I am, wondering where I stand.
Am I on her fingertips or held firmly in her hands?
Is she holding me loosely unaware that I may slip...
Or does she hold me firmly in her grip?
Here I am, wondering where I stand.
Am I held loosely or tightly in her hands?
Does she hold me as if I were worth a million bucks,
as if I were brand new…
Or does she haul me around like an object that has been worn out and used?
Here I am, wondering where I stand.
Am I held loosely or firmly in her hands.
Is it possible that I am to her what she is to me...
Held with both hands or does she selfishly need one hand to be free?
Does she hold me loose enough to slip…
Or am I held firmly in the palm of her grip?
In the case that I lose my cool and try to resist...
Would she open her hand and let me go or secure me tightly in her fist?
Knowing the risk do her hands remain calm and steady...
Or can I slip due to her hands being shaky and sweaty?
Is she scared and nervous that if she grabs a hold she'll never release...
Frightened that even if she was unwilling,
time would cause the strength of her grip to increase.
Here I am, wondering where I stand.
Does she hold me loosely or tightly in her hands.
Suspicious as to what keeps me around and what keeps me here.
And curious to if I wasn't holding on to her would she be close or anywhere near.
Worried that by now I'm barely holding on to her fingertips...
I let go just to prove to myself that she does have a grip.

i had to come back to this one because I didn't get to comment. As soon as I finished reading I wrote m response and posted it...and I was at work. lol. what can I say...you have this way of inspiring me Andre. =) I think you and I have this weird understanding of our emotions even though a lot of the time it's the opposite. lol. we offer each other the opposite perspective and I think that's why our poems always go well together. this was just another poem that made me jump with such an urge to...
