Edge

Dig me up from underneath
Im walking on a ledge,
hang ten over the edge
the edge of a thread,
In the Dark of my head

Talk me down
Talk me down
 
Pour in clean clarity,
Dispel the emo parody
A hand held out, to pull me out
To lead my on another route

Call out your name
and i remember
a flick'ring ember.
Call it hope
a hanging rope
not a noose 
a boost
to get to you.
You pull me through

This is your name.
This is your fame;
to make a way
through all this gray,
To talk me down the jagged edge
Talk me down
Talk me down

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.
