"LOVE ON THE EDGE"

 "LOVE ON THE EDGE"

Sporadic calls whisper guilt

Obligations weigh us still

Routine binds what’s lost in time

Sharing nothing but cheap wine

Tuesday night the fire’s dim

Words like ghosts drift empty thin

Covering up the rotting past

Hypothermic lips they clash

Where has our passion gone

Bloodstone heart ceases on

Waiting for words to free

Living in toleration's plea

Courage lost

Dependency

Pulls us closer

Painfully

Eyes that seek liberation

Stuck in cold cohabitation

Raise the glass to our silent cries

Broken souls in thin disguise

Love reduced to sheer routine

Fireplace warmth unseen

Where has our passion gone

Bloodstone heart ceases on

Waiting for words to free

Living in toleration's plea
