The edge

You’re the calm inside my head
The only place my heart can rest
You laugh when everything falls down
You lift me up off shaky ground
My breathing slows when you are close
Your arms feel like the only home
But when you turn and walk away
The silence gets too loud to face

I’m standing on the edge of us
Between the fear and fragile trust
Say you feel the way I do
Before the quiet pulls me through

I love you more when you’re right here
I lose myself when you disappear
Hold me like you really care
Don’t let go — I’m too deep in there
I love you more than I should
You break me just like I knew you would
You say we only need some space
But I can’t breathe without your place

Late nights staring at my phone
Scrolling through the love we’ve known
I tell myself I’ll be alright
But missing you keeps me awake at night
I almost call, then let it fade
Afraid of words that never stayed
All the things I couldn’t say
Still echo in the empty space

Tell me stay, just one more night
Tell me everything’s alright
‘Cause I have seen how dark it gets
When love is full of loneliness

I love you more when you’re right here
I lose myself when you disappear
Hold me like you really care
Don’t let go — I’m too deep in there
