Survival

I sit on the edge of this mountain top My feet dangling over the sheer cliff There’s a decision to be made But it’s not what you think I come here to clear my head Becoming one with nature This is where I feel at peace This is where I vanquish my demons I made the choice to reach out to you You seemed to be glad I did Was it just a lie? Did you care at all? Did you set me up on purpose Just to watch me fall? This decision isn’t easy Because you still have my heart Do I wallow in the pain And long to have you back? Do I learn to let you go And find a way to heal? Well, let me tell you something And I’ll make it very clear I’m a survivor and I’m going to move on I can learn to breathe without you I will brush myself off I will hold my head high You had your chance One day you’ll see The big mistake you made When you walked away from me.
