falling

weary from a seemingly endless quest for nothing, I sat down to breathe. But there was nothing to sit on and I fell..Down to the murky shadows of my thoughts. I struggled to rise from its depths. i stretched forth my arms to hold on to anything. But there was nothing. I closed my eyes and waited for the end but it didn't come. I opened my eyes, and saw you. you held out your hand but I was too proud to take it. you smiled and held me tight. your warmth melted the cold. and once again, I fell.
