I'll Never Let You Go

by Hiccup Legolas Hardy

A run-in with a nefarious villain on a dangerous precipice leaves Frank gravely wounded and left for dead, while his brother Joe hangs off the edge of the cliff. As Joe's grip loosens, he is caught just in time by his dying brother, who pulls him to safety with the last of his strength. This little drabble follows Frank's thoughts in that critical moment.

Author's note: Hello! This is a little poem (if it can be called that…not sure it follows the rules of poetry) that I wrote several years ago. I leave it to your imagination to provide details but the basic idea is that the brothers were cornered on the edge of a cliff by a villain, Frank was gravely wounded and Joe thought he was dead, and now Joe is hanging off the edge of the cliff. Just as he loses his grip, Frank catches him. I imagine this as a song but feel free to read normally. Hope you enjoy!

I'll never let you go

Even as I die

I just want you to know

I will never let you go

I will never let you go

Even as the blood pours down my arm

Into your waiting hand

I'll never let you go

I don't care if I die

You're the only thing worth living for

I will never let you go

And with the last of my strength

I will pull you up into safety's waiting embrace

I'll never let you go

And with my dying breath

I will let you know

How much I love you so

I'll never let you go

I'll always be in your heart

Please don't cry, my brother

I just want you to know

That I love you so

And I will never let you go

I will NEVER let you go
