Screaming For You Before I'm Gone (On The Precipice)

At the bottom once again
trying to climb up this treacherous cliff
trying to hold on tight
to all that's in my hands
i cry tears because it's getting too hard
to hold on tight to these rocks
these obstacles keeping me from moving on
i'm slowly making my way to the top
once i can get there i will have moved on
struggling with everything
wanting to just let go
it's not getting any easier at all
i need some help but you left me long ago
it's getting harder to breathe as i
get higher up the cliff
i'm almost there but i'm starting to slip
i reach the precipice but i feel i'm unable to hold on
i'm weak now and can't pull myself up
my tears fall harder now, hard and fastlike rain during a storm
they're weighing me down and i can't hold on any longer
i'm slipping
i'm screaming
"If you Love me catch me before i fall"
my fingers release from the top of the rock.
and i start to fall.
maybe i'm better off once i hit the bottom
i don't matter to him anyway.
i close my eyes and feel a pressure on my back
and yet i'm on my feet again
staring out over the cliff at the sunset
your hand in mine
as you whisper
"i always loved you"
into my ear.

but that's just how i wish things would happen.

and i fall
and i scream
and i cry
and i'm gone.
