the edge

I stayed
off the edge
for so long

I stood
with too feet planted on shaking ground,
But still I stood

And now, I teeter
I can feel myself falling
the edge is so close,
the void is so near

I'm falling,
falling,
falling.

it calls my name,
it beckons me with its embrace
I stood for so long
all alone
the memory of a time before the void
playing back for me,
flickering
breaking apart

the memory of the time before hurts,
the void knows how too soothe me

I feel myself being pulled apart
I feel myself falling

for so long I have stayed over the edge,
away from the blades; the drugs; the whispers in my head

for so long I was good

was.
