Of a sudden I see stars

I can barely utter a vowel

I'm down on bended knee

Trainer threw in the towel

That's what Bertha did to me

Her beauty rained right hooks

Love peppering me with jabs

Knocked out cold by her looks

She didn't pull her punches

Her uppercuts thrown at will

She trapped me on the ropes

Bertha's big punches can kill

They carried me...

Ropes

frayed and

weathered

after

of keeping

It's all in the ropes;

Some people are caught in endless games of tug of war,

Pulling,

Falling,

Until one lets go or they reach an endless breakable tension.

Others are anchored somewhere high,

Hard to break,

Hard to climb.

Whether you climb just a few feet,

Or to the top,

You will always fall.

And yet your rope is different from the rest,

Attached to nothingnes...
