The Precipice - Thine

We’ve been drifting afar

towards the waning sun& its vengeful glow

Never stopped tom see it, to feel it

For too many years they’ve been

strangling your dreams &denying your hopes

to unravel the real me,

we need reasons — reasons

Sinking below when you’re out of your depth,

and there’s nobody home

it stops you breathing

Will stop you breathing — breathing

Stay — if time no longer heals us

it will make things better between us

Change — flooding into the light of the room

Edging closer, close to the precipice

… but you’ll never know just how much it feeds me

Hanging our pains for the few of them,

as if we were never there

Betraying your ghosts,

out circling round their long dead hosts

Of stern deceivers, terminal believers

Redeemers

Now & then we’ll heal to start the pains again
