edge of hope

Sharp and skittering,
this sudden craving for you.
It scrapes and stings
It leaves me breathless
Holding on for balance
I fall anyway
like the fool I am.
I want to reach out
into the darkness
and find you sleeping
next to me
hope is a double edged sword, my love
and if you hold too tight,
It will slice you to ribbons
and you will bleed.
