I've been on the cliff's edge a few times in my life
Staring at the sharp rocks that could claim my life.
Yes, I've wanted to jump before
To let the stones take my bones.

I could stay there for a long time, too.
Long enough for hunger to tear at my stomach
Long enough for my tongue to crack from dryness.

But I never fell off the edge.
Not because I had a revelation.
Not because I felt life needed living.
Not because I won against depression.

I simply turned around
And I started walking life again
And the days got better and worse
But I kept walking; I don't need to die.

I needed a miracle, today.
Now my friends need a miracle.
So here I am.
Asking for a miracle.

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
But if all links are eroded and rusted, what happens?
You break free.

Another murmur from my heart.
Another giving of thanks to still be alive.

I know I'm in love because I can't stop crying, telling her how much she means to me.
Because she turns every tear to diamonds and every sob into joy.
Because she saw my demons and never recoiled.
Because I see her demons and I'm not recoiling.
Because we're equally broken, and okay with it.
