Strength

Hanging by a single thread, 

A thin silk strand from a spider's web, 

You might say. 

My knees are weak, 

Shaky, 

But still I stand. 

Tired. 

Very, very tired. 

I look to you for strength, 

Motivation in your silence, 

Your sweet existence 

Bringing me back to life with every breath. 

Disappearing into you, 

My thoughts a little clearer, 

Drowning out their words 

As we lie alone together,

Breathing in the darkness 

One sip at a time.-
