I Wish

by shadow   Nov 14, 2007


I'm so damn close to the edge of death today
Thought if I tried harder things would be okay
Hoping I would find just one reason to stay
But turns out dreams were built to be thrown away

I ran to my favourite spot just to think
I sat on the edge, tempted by its comforting light
I prayed for some sort of sign to stay around
But I guess it just wasn't coming tonight

For the first time in such a long time
I broke down and began to cry
So tired of making such an effort for nothing
Even though I really did try

I wish I could say something more
To convince you I rather stay around
But I climbed this rope, called life
And now I need to get back down

The pain inside has been burning for too long
It only reminds me of the days I was left alone
Reminds me of the times we drifted apart
Wishing for a place to call my very own

I wish I could find relief from this hate
I wish I could finally feel like I should
If only I knew who I was anymore
Then maybe for once I could
