Hanging On By My Fingertips.
I am holding on by my tender fingertips.
I feel it slipping away but I cannot stop it.
I am encaged by the darkness I live in.
Our relationship is just about surviving.
I am rejecting, hurting pushing it away.
Bringing nearer the inevitable final day.
I can’t stop but can see what I am doing.
A good thing, bit by bit I am destroying.
I am craving everything that I am losing.
This is what my subconscious is choosing.
There is not a woman who is more deserving.
My demons continue, they are persevering.
She just wants to be loved, the same as me.
Just cuddled and held close and affectionately.
What's wrong with me, it’s not too much to ask.
For her loving me is becoming a thankless task.
I know the end is coming and not far away.
Soon she will move on to a far happier place.
It will be my stupid fault it came to an end.
Deservedly, I will be back where it all began.

Can it be saved? And how
Sadly it wasn`t, we live and learn
Thanks for sharing.
When relationships fade away, it is disturbing. This poem speaks to this, and I can feel the emotion in it. Nicely written.
Thank you for your lovely comment Sorenbarrett
Sad it sounds, but by now a distant memory. Glad to know you survived. I really don't think it necessary to lash yourself in this way.
Notifications show you commented on my poem, but for what is some technical reason probably, I have no access to it..... (I have few enough responses, I can't afford to miss one...😂)
Thank you Dave for the comment, not lashing myself now, i wrote this 2015. Not sure what happened with my comment.
This is like that slow motion all happening at once scene where everything begins to take on a cutting edge clarity but we are unable to do anything about it. Ah, life… at least the poetry came out to log this moment in a life.
Thank you for the comment Arqios, your assessment is pretty accurate to how it felt at the time.
Sad when love is on the downward slope. Can be retrieved with effort, but not everyone has the energy to invest in that outcome. Nicely penned composition. I enjoyed my visit.
Thank you Cassie for your comment, in my case it was not effort lacking it was ability.
