The Edge

 

Every word spoken in jest

Every tear in wish for a rest

Every word you say I must confess

Only pushes me further toward the edge

 

Why can’t you just see

How much you are killing me

That every time you laugh at my expense

Only pushes me further toward the edge

 

In every single salty tear

In all the torture over the years

All the loneliness sets and festers in my chest

That when you pushed my desperation to the side

Only pushed me further toward the edge
