Black Hole

(Help.)
As if
I'm just barely
hopelessly holding on to the edge.

to either ignore me
or push my hands away a bit

And I'm just stuck there,
hanging
and waiting for someone
to finally help me up.
(Please.)
But other times I feel
as if no one will come
so I'll eventually end up falling.
And I wonder if I should just
stop waiting
and let go...
