The Edge

I was standing on the edge,
Bracing for the fall.
Many called my name,
But I couldn't hear them at all.

Then you held out your hand,
And the answer was suddenly clear.
You smiled a little and said
"Let's get out of here."

Now our positions are reversed,
And all I can see is you.
I'm begging you to stay,
But I can't seem to get through.

You turned your head toward me,
The fall had begun.
I could see the tears in your eyes as you whispered,
"The demons in my head, they won."
