'suspended'
drifting in and out
or was it the other way around?
floating away
instead of towards what made sense
both suspended in the air
with only recognition as their measurement
he wanted out
she wanted in
he pulled away
her wish was for something more meaningful
there they were
trapped in something
that held them captive
too afraid to make the first move
too afraid of what might happen
suspended
hanging onto promises
both of them have forgotten
with their feet halfway in the air
still drifting in and out
or was it the other way around?
