On the Edge

I know in my brain that there's nothing I can do
But my heart is hooked into memories and I just can't let go
What is it, she asked
That pulls me with him in this free fall into darkness


Aching, sobbing
I want him back
The man who used to love me


He's hiding somewhere in a place I can't touch
No one can right now
I'm certain
In the blackest of places
Neither of us can see


We are each alone
All alone
Holed up
Afraid, confused


I never knew the edge of the earth was so close
I should have paid more attention to the signs
But I didn't


He's over the edge now clutching my heart
Still pulling my strings
