One more step and you'll push me right over the edge, your words teter nervously on my heart. Your love threatens to catch me off balance threatening my fall.


You hold me in the depths of your soul at times barely holding me, at other times consuming me.

Theres no escape, no room to breathe-you have me in your clutches, theres nowhere else to turn. The 4 walls close in, your heart and eyes suffocate me-whole, uncontained and rich.

But you can push me away just as easily as you hold me, thrusting me out into a world unknown where everything is distant and everything is black.


This is the power of you...

Excellent imagery - a real portrait. Maybe you could change "you have me in your clutches" to something a little less cliched, and clean up a couple misspellings - but I really liked it.

Yeah I dont like the ``you have me in your clutches`` bit either, I will think of something else. Thanks for all your advice, thoughts and praise!
