Afraid Of heights

To a very good friend of mine.

You put me on a pedestal
Way too high…
I don’t deserve it, my friend,
It makes me wanna cry.

What happens when I fall?
Will you be there to catch me?
I’m so afraid of heights,
So will you set me free?

You place me on a pedestal,
But I’m afraid of heights.
I can’t always be there for you
On your lonely nights.

Don’t you see what happens
Each time that I look down?
My smile always manages
To turn into a frown.

So take me off that pedestal
And maybe things would be all right.
Just let me walk beside you,
‘Cause I am afraid of heights.

~~xXx~~

Yes Jenni, up on the pedastal she goes. And she knows the burden is too heavy and doesn't fit. But she tries to be everything her love sees her as. You have deep insight and are right. Some are unable to grasp and learn this and it is a shame they didn't. They are just bulls in a China Shop. Your friend bill

Every woman should be on a pedestal, dear lady. And they should be kept there. Fine poem.

Peace,
