I could not save you;
merely, comfort you in your fatal fall
from the pitiful pedestal
that crumbled before our eyes

A depth in so little expression.
Beautiful. Best of luck. -
What a skillful write no doubt by a master poet. But from the comments which I read I almost took it for something else, like more upon a spiritual plane but I guess that's where my head is at lol. God bless you and I thank you and wish the best in the contest...

these arms could only hold you after the fall...but just know ...i'll always be here

Illusions are among the most fallible of human traits, yet we might not be oursleves without some, and yes, they do crumble...remarkable insight and brevity... PK
