A Dagger

On the verge of nothingness
feeling nothing but numb
an icy dagger in my side
never feeling more alone
than in that moment I ponder
wonder
would you miss me?
cry for me?
waste away as I have?
my feet dangle in thin air
my head in my hands
body racked by sobs
tears with no reason
staining my hair
leaning over the void
breathing cold air
someone twists the dagger
I fall.

Headfirst

There's a hole in my chest/ where my heart used to be/ You took it with you/ without even asking me./ I didn't ask to be thrown/ headfirst back into love/ But that's where I am now,/ You're all I'm dreaming of./ It hurts that you're so far away/ and I'm not too good with words/ so it's hard for me to express/ what just seeing you confirms./ I think that I might love you,/ as much as it scares me to admit/ I've been burned before and I'm not ready/ for you to up and quit./ I'm sick and tired of losing/ I'm wounded and I'm beat/ all I need is you to come/ and lift me to my feet./ Be my angel, spread my wings/ and show me how to fly/ for when you hold me in your arms/ I feel like I can touch the sky.
