The Mountain

The mountain

how high

how steep

how deadly

that mountain appeared to be

 

'We can do it together'

you stated

taking hold of my hand

with that caring look in your eyes.

 

All my life I was afraid

of climbing that mountain

afraid of the consequences

that came with the climb

 

You showed me every possible path

told me you knew them all

told me to trust you

foolishly I did

 

We started the climb

you held onto me

cared for me

during that major ascent

 

When we reached the top

I was filled with joy

-maybe love

another foolish mistake

 

I turned to you

you were gone

leaving me alone

on top of the mountain I couldn't

have faced without you
