learning to fly

I’m on the edge of reason, precipice of despair All definitions blurred, nothing left to share My cliff crumbles before me, bits of life fall below My horizon dies beneath the sea, nowhere left to go Glance to yesterday, memories don’t ask why Only fear wants me to stay, existence waves goodbye Step a little closer, the breeze whispers in my ears Let the ocean waves drown away the tears Lean forwards, believe, believe you will fly If you have no life, you simply cannot die Spread your punctured arms out, float into the blue There’s no one reaching out who wants to try save you The cold of addiction drains away with the low tide Nature cleans over, the place the body died Do you think my cliff cared that I didn’t stay? Don’t cry for me,… I learnt to fly today
