Tangled webs we
have weaved
I can not find
My feet
I can not feel
The ground
I am waiting
To be found
But you are not searching
You can not see
I strangle and lose
the battle to breathe
Dismember my heart
Left to bleed
You have disappeared
and hidden the key
Remove the memories
A small sever in the cord
and separate yourself from me
My words are screaming
Riddles to be broken
but are not solved
by words you have spoken
I am walking the
High Wire
Balancing upside down
Over this fire
I am over the edge
Created by deceit
believing in you
believing in me
Time is ticking on
As the web tightens
I am awaiting dawn
But you are missing
Long gone...

Well done poet.
What a wonderful write. But very sad, I feel the pain in these words. "Over The Edge" indeed Very good take on the prompt. Are you writing from your own experience? of sadness.
