The inspiration for 'I'll Never Let You Fall' came from a dream. As is stated in the poem. Now, understand, I suffer from vertigo. Anyone that has the same problem you know how much of a strain it is. It comes off and on, usually in extremely stressful situations if I don't have control of myself. It hasn't bothered me for a while other than when I had the flu... But I had this dream with this person, who will remain nameless, this person I knew and it scared the hell out of me. The dream itself was dissorienting and because I woke up so suddenly it must have triggered the vertigo. I cursed the man up and down until it passed. When it did, I had to sit down and write the story down.
I had a dream
And you were there
Such a dream
Gave me such a scare

We walked along
You and I
Together after so long
And I never questioned why

Across the bridge
Too way up high
That damn bridge
Why couldn't you fly?

I stopped to view
So wonderous at the top
Then up the rail with you
Making my heart stop

"Please come down here!"
I begged of you
But you just had no fear
The recklessness of you

Then the wind caught
You lost your grip
I rushed and fought
To save you from your trip

"I won't let go!"
I promise you
But I'm too weak, I battle so
"If I must I'll die with you."

"Let me go, I'll sacrifice."
But I refuse, not on your life
"It'd hurt too much for you to pay the price,
Either now or later, I'd end it with a knife."

Then we fell towards the blue
And still I never let go
With my final breath, "I love you."
And you returned my echo

I snapped awake right then
Dizzy and painful
I cursed you again
My heart it hurts, so worn and stressful

You torment me
Driving me mad at your own pace
But the anguish lets me know that he,
My angel has a face

And I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you fall.
