Razor's Edge
I wonder what she sees
When I look into her eyes
I wonder what she's thinking 
And what knots her mind has tied

I wonder if she sees me
As I really am
And if she sees the precipice
The edge on which I stand

For as my mind does wander
Pulling me to either side
My balance on this razor's edge
Does only sanity provide

To one side is the plunge
Headfirst into love
Where her whims do I fulfill
As for the hand the glove

And my every waking hope
Is for the sparkle in her eye
And every dream's desire
To hear her softly whispered sigh

But in this realm where all my thoughts
Contain the woman of my dreams 
Her swinging knife across my heart
From my throat rip unmatched screams

On the other side is silence
A tune I know too well
For it contains the sound I heard
At every last farewell

The silence of my heart and mind
As I stare towards the screen
And crush the pangs of lonliness
With rocks from heights unseen

Where the only soul inside my heart 
Is the one that looks like me
And no one comes within a mile
Before I scurry up a tree

'Tis a pit which can my soul entrap
Given nothing more than breath
'Tis a chasm which I will escape 
With nothing short of death

So I walk here on the razor's edge
Taking care to hold my grip
And always stay in motion
Else on my blood I'd slip.
