Love Poem: The Edge

The Edge

you drove me to it, right to the edge
you took my hand and helped me off the ledge
you said "jump"..I'll catch you when you fall
but you weren't there, after all

you said "love me".. I asked how much
you said "a lot"..I felt the rush
as it flew right past me, like a bullet in the air
and off you went, with ne'er a care

you said "goodbye"..and I asked why
you said "because"..your only reply
I should have seen it coming, you weren't really here
the object of my affection was further than it appeared

you drove me to it, right to the edge
you took my hand and helped me off the ledge
you said "jump"..I'll catch you when you fall
but you weren't there, after all
