Stories from Linda Delmonico Prussen

What lies between them

Date: 
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
She lies on the edge
Of the chasm between them
Started only as a small crack
One they easily and often
Stepped over

It grew

Still she was able to see him
Lying on the other side
Close enough
To sometimes touch
They'd reach across
And hold hands
Till the gusts blew strong
And broke their grip

Each day she'd feel
More rocks crumble beneath her
And fall from the ledge
