Reaching Poem by Tsunami HiroshiSu

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

The hand reaches for me
For anything
Groping for a hold
For anything
For some scrap of life to hold onto
To believe in

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

Reaching out for a hold
Anything
Aching, crying out
It won’t hold much longer
Grasping for me
Or anyone

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

Pleading for life
I touch the hand
I hold
But sweaty fingers slip through mine
Sliding
Falling into the abyss below

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

I know he is gone
But still I reach for him

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

Too late
Gone

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

My fault
All my fault
My turn

Reaching
Reaching
Reaching

Falling
Falling
Falling
