I am standing on one too many edges,
dredging my way through my own confidence
I’m not trying to tumble off,
but I still stumble to close for comfort.
Before you ask
This isn’t a poem about suicide,
But more a low tide tsunami
That’s been taking over
one too many of my thoughts lately.
I wasn’t supposed to let go of you,
I swear things weren’t supposed to go that way
Now everyday is a labyrinth of
Tip-toing over
Every inch of memory that was supposed to be buried.
I’m sorry.
Guilt has a way of invading every open space in your mind,
And its been doing that to me lately.
I guess there is no use
In trying to shape my words
Into some beautiful masterpiece
If you’ve already forgotten me
But then again I don’t blame you.
My apology’s must look as thin as my track history,
But I guarantee you its genuine.
And I keep wanting to tell you that,
Love is never-ending,
And that
True feelings will never go away,
But I know that’s *******.
There are some few people don’t deserve to be taken back
And the lack of my melancholy
When I turned my back on you
Proves I’m probably one of those few.
But I promise if I step out on the edge,
Ill be thinking of you.
If time has taught me anything,
It’s that you gotta pledge to stay true
to the things that you hold close to you.
You never gave up on me,
And if memory is the only thing I get to keep of you,
Ill take it.
Its better than some get.
