I was standing on the edge
ready to jump
to fall
but you talked
and talked and talked and talked and talked
all I could do was listen
I stepped down off the ledge
and said yes
everything started again

You kissed my scars
and Cradled my bruises
and held me as I cried
You stood by my side
Through thick and thin
and I got better
I felt good
I danced and sang and smiled
and you made me feel alive
The summer came and went

and so did you
now the monsters are back
I see them at night
as I lay in bed and try to sleep
but they won’t leave
Now you hold his hand
not mine
and I can’t help but wonder why
Do you even know?
can you see?
how much you destroyed me
I was good, better, doing okay
now i’m worse and barely making it through the day
I miss you
I want to talk to you
tell you everything like i used to
but i can’t
and it hurts so much
too much to bare
the others laugh and smile
and they wonder why i don’t
It’s because i’m back on that edge
and you aren't there to talk
and i’m done listening
