Love on the Edge

Love on the Edge

Caught in the currents of love and disdain,
riding the highs, then spiraling again.
I dive headfirst into connections so deep,
yet in the shadows, my fears creep.
A tug of war between desire and dread,
each relationship hangs by a fragile thread.

On a precipice of passion, I dance, elate,
but the fear of abandonment, I can’t abate.
One moment the queen of my own fairy tale,
the next, a shipwreck, lost and frail.
This pendulum heart swings wild and wide,
from adoration to despair, a relentless tide.

Love and pain, woven the same,
in the fabric of my being, a dangerous dance.
You lift me sky-high, then let me fall,
in this life with you, I risk it all.
One moment you’re my everything,
the next, you’re a ghost, and I’m unraveling.

Can’t grasp the middle ground, it slips away,
in extremes, my heart and mind sway.
Seeking comfort in your arms or none,
a constant battle, never won.
This hurricane of emotions, where I reside,
a love so fierce, yet terrified.

So here I stand, on love’s precarious ledge,
yearning for healing, on this broken edge.
A soul divided, in constant flux,
in your hands, my heart, a paradox.
