Off The Edge

At the edge I stand holding your hand

Our bodies sway to the soundless band

Of the earth restlessly spinning

Eyes always returning to you

 

Is this love or just a phase?

Will I fall break and shatter

Into pieces that will cease to matter

All the while humming this phrase

 

 

Do you see the night sky my love?

Stars parading to the sound of your voice

Bright moon waxing and waning at your command

All following the rise and fall of your hand

 

 

I step in rhythm until the sudden drop

Ground vanishing before I stop

Breathless panic giving way

Mind always returning to you

 

Is this love or just a phase?

Will I fall break and shatter

Into pieces that will cease to matter

All the while humming this phrase

 

Head aloud with stuttering pain

Rushing wind pulsing a refrain

Trembling limbs flailing out

Arms always returning to you

 

Off the edge I fall holding your hand

Our bodies sway to the soundless band

Of the earth restlessly spinning

Heart always returning to you.
