I went to the edge to see clearly.
I went to the edge to be.
I wandered in hopes of this moment.
I wandered for nothing at all.

If I showed the edge to you. Look down.
I found the edge for me.
The edge is where life cannot be. Leave me.
The edge is where I lost you.
****
I've been to the edge in my sleep, too deep.
I've seen more than I could ever bear.
I've wanted to be a brand new self, something.
I've wanted to be more than me.

I held out the edge for them to see;
I hadn't forgotten where I lived.
I seek out the edge in the deep silence;
I found it's a good enough retreat.
****I know that the edge was where I lost something,
Something that I didn't even need.
