The Edge of the Ocean.

Without a thought.
Without a word.
Without that tiny little bird.
I hear a whisper.
A voice inside my head.
"Do it.
"What else could you have to do instead."
I'm at that place. Where I can't feel.
Where nothing in this world seems real.
I'm inside that box.
That empty little box.
I can't find the seams. This must just be a really bad dream.
But if this was a dream,
I wouldn't feel so ashamed.
I wouldn't want to hang my feet off the edge of a cliff.
Just going, gone.
Drift.
But I am so sick of falling.
So sick of trying to catch up. Why am I so far gone.
I feel something grab at me.
I feel something pull me from the edge.
The mist of the sea,
It builds a quiet ledge.
A ledge of for my memories.
A ledge for my regrets.
The ones that I get all lost and twisted.
What a mess.
But you have me.
I'm not falling.
I'm only dangling.
Dangling from the sea mist's ledge.
And now I'm holding on for dear life.
