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
