Temptation

I sit with my feet dangling
Staring down at the abyss below

Though I do not know what happens if I fall
Every day I edge slowly closer

People pull me back from time to time
Some stay sat right next to me

Sometimes the darkness is inviting
Like a release from a passive torture

I look into the eyes of my sister
And I know I cannot let myself go

I hear the laugh of my friends
And I know I cannot let myself go

I hear the words of my partner
And I know I cannot let myself go

I cannot let myself go.
