One step closer
to falling off the edge
one step closer
to falling in your hands
one step closer
to letting go my grip
one step closer

I'm about to lose myself
and I'm not sure where I'm going
if I trust you, trust
you would know
I'm walking blindly
and
I'm about to forget myself
and I'm not sure where I'll end up
if you hold me, hold
me I'd see
You are laced with me

One step closer
to falling off the edge
one step closer
to falling in your hands
one step closer
to letting go my grip
one step closer

Right now I'm shadowed with fear
and it is hindering progression
if I tell you, tell
you would know
all my obstacles
and
Right now I'm in tensious space
and it is holding me back
if you take me, take
me I'd see
what is outside me

One step closer
to falling off the edge
one step closer
to falling in your hands
one step closer
to letting go my grip
one step closer

One step over
falling off the edge
one step over
falling in your hands
one step over
letting go my grip
one step over
I'm holding onto you

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."

Very good question. To be honest, I am not sure exactly. I wish I could say I had an inspiration for writing it, but I don't feel as if that was quite known. However, I feel like I was writing it from a more secular perspective.

What would you take it as? Thoughts?

Favorite Quote:
“If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I'm only a resounding noise , If I have the gift of knowledge, And if my faith moves mountains high, But have not love I am nothing… Though I know the One, Who holds the stars in the heavens, In the palm of His hand, If I give all I possess , To the poor and the helpless, I'll still gain nothing, Without love… Love's patient, True love is always kind, Love does not envy, Never brags, it's never proud, Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends, Love forgives… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-5,7)
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” John 15:18-19
"The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these the spirit blooms..." ~ George Santayana
