A whisper of my heart

On the edge

So I stood there
Completely naked
My mind as much as my body
in front of the mirror
With just a few shades of light finding ways down the curves of my body
I couldn't bare more light
Or else all of my flaws would be revealed
And it would have been just too painful to see

My eyes were sore
I wondered if they could take some more tears
And I thought of my friend
She is the only one that could save me from falling
As much as I saw myself standing there I was just falling
and yelling with no voice
Desperately trying to get some air to my lungs
But I couldn't
And my skin started to change its color
But I still couldn't breathe
I was running out of all the sanity that was left

Until my own hand touched my shoulder
And with the help of all the saints
Brought me home
Put me back on the ground
Saved me
I slowly started to crumble out of the hole
Back into the light
Suddenly
I started to breathe
