Cliffhanger

by Bryce Ellner   Oct 11, 2004


I've hung on by one hand
Hoping that things will fade
I don't feel those fingers anymore
They're almost numb from the pain.
It's hard to tell
If I'm really still holding on
Or if I've already fallen away
And just haven't hit the ground yet.
I keep my eyes shut so tight
So that no tears will fall from me
And keep my other hand reaching out
Hoping that someone will grab hold of me.
