I can see in your
eyes there
is sorrow
and I can see you
row,
out of
control,

on the edge of the sea you are
lonely

and you long to be
everywhere all at
once-
you have to know
I feel the same
to go and
stay with you,
to pull towards the
shore
then back to sea
with you

Darling, if on the edge of a cliff
you dangled your grief,
I'd hold that rope with you.
Use my tiny, agile, painter's hands to
hook on every
misery,
to
hang over
the edge of alienation,
a pendulum of problems where ocean's mist
can cut the cord

I want to bear the weight of all your
worry, until the
lighthouse stream goes
grey
and watch your doubts,
your troubles,
your need for what it is you cannot find
slowly fade
away

I'm on the edge of a cliff,
with you
and your sadness can't make me
sway
to pull towards the
shore
then back to sea
with you
