The Edge Of The World
| Here I stand teetering on the edge of the world. My soul torn in two. One half violently intent upon capturing and imprisoning my heart in a world created solely of shadows and ice. Luring me with promises of eternal freedom from the agony of betrayal and the anguish of heartache. The other half gently grasps my hand, intent upon showing me all there is to experience in life. Luring me with family, friends, a husband, happiness, joy, laughter, trust and most of all... he lures me with genuine love. The darkness calls out to me once again reminding me of the pain I've suffered in my lifetime. The lies I've been told by those who said they loved me. The betrayal's that have destroyed my trust. And the lives of those I love that have been lost. But deep in my heart I know the truth. And it is that love conquers all. And no more do I wish to be hiding in the shadows that are cast by the fortress walls of ice I have placed around my heart. For my time is now. My time to live, to laugh, and to love.
