The hand slipped from mine...
Just a moment in time too late...
Silent the touch which cost me so much...
Was gone in the blink of an eye...
Did I loosen my grip, did I cause the slip... That ended in ruins beneath?
The shadow of night surrounded me tight
Not allowing my eyes to see. The hand that I held, the one I thought failed, was grasping another safe ledge. My fingers grew tired, weary and sore from closing them tightly round theirs. As my grasp gave way a voice I heard say, "Your strength was never enough."
