What’s up with all these love songs?
Written in a moment of bliss
Then tossed at the first diss.
If you meant those words you wrote for me
Keep them close to you
Don’t abuse me for hearing you scream.

I can’t keep holding on when you make me sick.
I need to be strong for both of us.
This isn’t going to keep going
Because I’ve reached the end of my road
And you’re just going to have to jump out.
Take a risk
Go off the edge with me or get out.

I don’t deserve your torment
Your rage is far from necessary.
At this point, it’s time for me to say
I need you to choose.
Take a risk
Go off the edge with me or get out.

This car’s moving too fast
It’s reaching the drop
And you’re still sitting there.
You’re silent and still and not with me
But you’re still sitting right there.
Why won’t you say something?
Can’t you just make your decision
And stop dangling me by this thread?

Looking ahead, I see it now
The edge is before me
And you’re still just a presence
A lingering memory of sheer happiness.
The time has come
Make your choice.
Take a risk
Go off the edge with me or get out.

WOAH. This is old. I love that reading this after reading your more recent work shows exactly how much you have grown as a writer (and as a person), and yet it is still so wonderful and brilliant, like always. <3

Hehehe. Yeah, I came across it on RB and my jaw was dangling around my toes. d: I wrote this last April. XD You know whom about. And, seriously, how much have things changed? If I were to write about the situation now, I know it would be different and...that's so...happy. ;D
