Pause.

Edge of the World

We were jumping off bridges that we built inside our hearts,

We were standing on the edges of our own oblivion,

Wishing we were wanted by someone not standing next to us,

But from the place we had come.

Not knowing how to cope is like drowning in a fire,

It hurts all over in ways you didn't think were possible.

Even when it was dark,

Not a light for miles,

We couldn't see that stars,

Only the dim burning wishes we still wished we could hold on too.

We were all grieving for something we had lost or never had,

And we hated it.

They set fires to their bridges and jumped hoping they would drown,

But only ended up waking in the sterile white rooms.

Not wanting to make up the population of statics;

Just trying to breath in a world closing in on you,

Forfeit the right to breath,

Because you feel you just won't be needing it for very long.

Sometimes a stupid mistake,

One insignificant comment on some random post,

Can make the monsoon feel as though it's only a light drizzle.

Before we end,

Arms linked to one another,

Pledging to give you reasons to stay just don't look for them in me,

Because I'm here next to you,

One the edge of the world.
