Fear of the Edge

As I stand staring at the edge
The wind rushing by;
carrying the sound or roaring waters below
My heart quickens at the thought

I take one step forward
The agony of the hurt
Bliss of ignorance
My heart quickens once more at the thought

Take one more step forward
Life flash's by
Chains that bind me
My heart quickens once more at the thought

Take one more step forward
Fighting the thought
Feeling as no hope left
My heart quickens once more at the thought

Take one more step forward
Seeking, screaming for help
Fear that fears reality
My heart quickens once more at the thought

At the edge
It is now known; truth
Unknowing of the know; discovering
Time was short? or not enough time to care?
