The Edge of Despair
I stood at heartbreaks precipice
She led me to the ledge
she filled my soul with blinding hope
then pushed me over the edge
My brain gave warning of the peril
Of pain that would ensue
My heart, determined, undeterred
With nothing my mind could do
Her words consumed my every thought
Her song engendered trust
believing that she cared for me
until that bitter thrust
As I fell, I prayed the ground
would wash this anguish away
Returning me to my solitude
In the depths where I'm destined to stay
I hope this hurt will Linger on
and to my heart this plea
Remember when you yearn again
There is no love for thee
