On The Verge

I'm standing
On The Verge
of everything I once knew.
Looking down
past the memories
I still have of you.
Knowing all I need to know,
and yet still feeling this undying pain.
There is nothing that I would not give
to see you once again.
I'm waiting
On The Verge
of everything I know.
I thought I'd gotten over you
but I cannot let you go.
You have my heart
but in your hands
it's worth less than anything.
You don't want it.
You threw it away.
I can't ignore the pain it brings.
I'm crying.
On The Verge
of losing everything.
My heart,
My soul,
everything gone.
Everything but my life.
You easily move on
while I'm stuck in this ever present night.
Give way
to day
and chase the clouds away.
Carry me away
carry me far away
from this edge.
From this treacherous ledge
that has me frozen here
stuck with fear
and the pain of memories.
All of these
emotions...
that have me so discour'ge'd
all these fears
and futile tears
that have me
On The Verge.
