I sit on the precipice of life
Staring into the vastness of space
My mouth is moving, but I’m only met with silence
I sit there on the edge
Only the stars to keep me company
A tear escapes and makes it’s way down my cheek
I’m fighting to get a sound out
This vacuum of empty space is deafening
My cheeks are stained, my dress drenched, the tears won’t stop
Why can’t you see?
Why won’t you hear?
I’m gasping for air, but there’s none to be found
In the end, we both know I’ll say I’m fine
