Stopping just short of the peak Oct 9, 2012

 

 

I never know why she did It, back when I thought I knew but didn't, drawn in then by her wide eyes and crooked mouth, these days it doesn't matter; she is on her way out the door, a shock; I expected her to keep climbing, she a few steps short of falling off, life gets slippery near the top, her fingers already bleeding, nails cracked from clawing to get what she thinks she deserves, yet I know not what transpired, when I was The Rock she needed to climb over, one of many stepping Stones; exactly why she decides to stop to get off now, to move on to some other clump of rocks, I cannot say, blaming herself for not being good enough, strong enough to keep climbing, halting just shy of the peak, perhaps not liking what she sees there
