Over the Edge

She dangles over the ledge
She took the step over the edge

I throw my body to the ground
And grab her before she goes down

Her eyes stare up into mine
As if looking for a sign

She asks "Why can't I just die?"
"You're too important for that" came my reply

"You need to be here," I say
"I love you, just please stay!"

She lets go of my hand
Just wanting to be canned

I can't let go of her now,
She's more than a face in the crowd

She's perfect in my eyes,
She's been hurt by too many guys

I love her more than anything
Because for her I could just sing

I need her to be here,
I need her to help me steer

I pull her up from the cliff,
My arm does a dead lift.

She's back on my side
Good lord, I nearly cried

I held her so close,
She means more than most

And now that I have her back,
Ill never let her fall through the cracks

Author's Note

Not nearly my best, but I'm fighting thought some writer's block at the moment. Feedback appreciated as always.
