One Step Closer To The Edge

I walked to the edge again
To find my footprints in the sand
To a place I had once been
A place I could barely stand

I reached for the light
But shadows engulfed my dream
I gave up the fight
  To let my mind silently scream

I just wanted to show I cared
But my affections got tangled in a web
I never thought I'd be scared
To say words I'd never said

If I had known
You wouldn't hear me out
I would have closed the door
And continued my life without

I'm standing at the edge
And waiting for a solution
I'm needing your pledge
Don't give me your pollution.

There's a dream I want to live
A serenity I want to be mine
There's a love I want to give
Two lives I want to combine

I asked for your support
To turn our fraction into a whole
My cry was my last resort
Because you are my heart and soul

I fought to hear your words
I struggled to understand your definition
I was given only two-thirds
Until you beat me into submission

You were given control
Over my every emotion
Instead you took a pistol
Shot a hole through my devotion

You watched me at the edge again
You saw my footprints in the sand
You saw where I had been

But you didn't care to understand
