Walking the knife edge of ice
careful with footed words
too easily misunderstood
the relationship became brittle
Over time differences in beliefs
with underlying structures
moving at different speeds
caused the glacier to fracture
The crevasse widened
and for a while I clung
trying to be a good friend
accepting her for who she is
I acknowledge
my faults and guilt
admit where I lack
try to be better
But at the same time
I hold onto who I am
I stand strong
in my beliefs
Maybe it’s time to let go
I slip off the edge
trusting there’s a hand hold
to help me up the other side.
