On The Verge

When several years has gone by
The feeling of giving up is nearby
When the feeling of emptiness is always there
Messing around daily making life hard to bear
When the thought that nobody is there to care
The feeling of being alone is beyond compare
When thoughts of having someone
Is haunting for quite some time
When life would have been easier
With somebody to wipe away a tear
When who you are with is sensitive enough
Who would tap your shoulder and be tough
When who is with you is a comfort in life
The load of burden is out of strife
When bitterness and anger reside in this heart
Somebody someday will break it apart
When thoughts of being sick and tired of this life
Stabbing this heart hard with a knife
When nights through the years has gone by
That no more tears is left to dry
When you can no longer find a reason to smile
Because you have been crying for quite a while
When all you have been asking is what is your purpose is life?
And why do we have problems in life?
When answers to these questions abound
But you never found it around
When sanity hangs by a thread
Wishing life is over is a dread
When going away is a relief
Don't give up on this belief
When on the verge of letting go
God's loving grace has always been there years ago!
