The Edge

She stands on the edge of the light

Because she wasn't safe in the darkness

But she was tired of the only shadows

Being her own

Relief

Tears are okay

They run down your face

So they can drip onto your heart

And seal up the cracks for a little while

So cry to fill the holes; then pick yourself up and find your answers

Turning Point

I turned in to myself
To heal all the wounds
To find the love inside

Then I look up,
Then I turned out
And everyone was gone

What's the point of healing
If I am as alone now
as I felt I was then?

Open Door

Why is "Hi"
the hardest thing to say
When it's the door I open
To let love back in?

And there's nothing
In the world I want more

The Time Traders

Tomorrow, for me, was scary
The root of all my worry

'til you traded your tomorrows
For the high price of "it's all over"

So now I spend every one of mine
Loving those who think of trading time

Trying to give them moments you missed
Hoping somehow I can make a difference

What I Would Have Said

I know you're hurting
I'll take it all, tell me everything
Every scar, every terror
And we'll cry together
For every bleeding wound

You worry of ruining my life
By pulling me into the night
But I walk in willingly!!
For the world without you (truly)
Would be one of shadows anyway

Any pain you might have caused me by living,
Would have always been better than the pain of you leaving

Rising Questions

You'll never see tomorrow's sunrise.
Were you afraid it wouldn't come?

Was the darkness too empty?
Or the night too long?
Was last night for you this lonely?

Would this horizon have made you smile?
Or one more worry for the list?

Were the demands on you too great?
Was there a tipping point I missed?
Or something that could've made you stay?
