Edge

I was once there,
help isn't available,
I sit and wait,
nobody picks up the call,

To the bed alone,
in one lonely night,
yes I've tossed myself,
to the edge of this life,

The life I have,
I almost tossed it out,
Or maybe I would give it back,
to just give up,

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
