"I walk alone at night,

raindrops and streetlights

reflecting flashes

across the asphalt



in a second's time, I might refrain from breathing

with her hand in mine, something is breaking faster

through a blackened sky, I see a world unravel

I look into her eyes to see the end

in a second's time, the walls swim cold electric

with a tearful smile, she whispers my undoing

in the hollow night, I find no trace of comfort

I turn just in time to see the end



I walk the edge



standing on the velvet edge

looking backwards in the rain

I wonder just how many times

I've watched you walk away

all that fascination bleeds - 

is a piece of infinity

in frustration still believing

what I know will never be



blurry eyes growing weak

fading with the light of time

piercing nothing to redeem

the emptiness with lies

pride has raped the sorrowed heart

and stolen what I love,

though the cut is digging still

how much deeper it could go...



Why did you come here,

just to break my heart again?

I walk the edge ------

Why did you come here,

just to sever my last remaining thread -

Why did you come here

just to watch me fall again?

I walk the edge ------

Why did you come here....?

I walk the edge..."
