Hanging On
I am on hanging on cliff’s edge
Slowly slipping off the slippery brink of insanity
You said you needed time to think about things
And I tried to be understanding.
They say if you love something set it free
But I’m just giving you months to grow without me
But all I can say is
At least I’ll wait for you
I let my mind wonder about how I got here
I fell in love with your words.
I fell in love with the feeling of your embrace.
I fell in love with an idea of you.
Why couldn’t I let go?
And just go with the flow?
I couldn’t let go of something I’ve longed for months
I was like Romeo trying to find a reason to persevere.
But all I can say is
At least I’ll wait for you
My arms are growing weak hanging onto false hope
Just give me something to help me cope.
I turn around catch a glimpse of the view behind me
I see the sun setting and hear blissful birds chirping beautiful symphonies
I look down below me and
Jump down to find that there was somewhere to land all along.
But all I can say is
At least I’ll wait for you
