Near the Edge
Driven to the edge;
I can’t hold on for long.
Far from the world,
and everything is wrong.
I lost it all
when I lost you.
Now I am trapped here,
with the spoken untrue.

You took my whole world,
and left me for dead.
Alone in the darkness;
many tears I have shed.
The door is locked,
you left no way out.
No one can hear me,
even if I shout.

Dead but alive,
is my condition.
The questions inside
confirmed my suspicion.
Waiting for more,
but knowing there is none.
Under this veil,
I can see no sun.

Forgotten or not?
I don’t really care.
There’s no way to find out;
no way out there.
All the exits are blocked.
I cannot leave.
The only thing left
is to sit here and grieve.
Wait! There’s a light;
The darkness was broken.
My emptiness filled
when that word was spoken.
You came back for me,
and opened the door.
My strength has returned.
I will hurt no more.
