Just a poem that slowly changed as my attitude changed while I was writing it. The one mentioned in it knows who she is, and told me I should do more poetry. I may just do so.

I walk a knife's edge.  
 Demons a wait on my right,   
 Standing in a flaming Light  
 To the left endless pain  
 Is this what it's like to be insane?

Voices ring out in my mind  
 The agony of their yelling makes me feel blind  
 The blade cuts into my feet  
 The pain creates unholy heat

Ahead the path takes a sharp turn  
 Behind me the edge starts to burn  
 Above is nothing but sky  
 Below are the forces that hope I die

I walk a knife's edge  
 Why can I not find a simple ledge?  
 Friends await at the end  
 Maybe their aid they can lend?

I walk a knife's edge.  
 Walking along this blade I feel it all fall away  
 Can I survive yet another day?  
 My friends await me  
 Why can't they see  
 That I bring only agony?

I walk a knife's edge.  
 I have made a slip  
 I wish my friends had seen me on this trip  
 Out of the darkness comes a hand  
 I reach for it, yet my limbs seem to move as if trapped in sand

I walk a knife's edge.  
 I have found my salvation  
 She is safety from the desolation  
 As she draws me out of the dark and into the light  
 I can't help but fight

I walk a knife's edge.  
 As she brings me to where I'm free  
 I fight the hands of demons and the dark that try to grasp me  
 I finally am standing on a ledge  
 Thanks to her love I've left that knife's edge.

I walk a knife's edge no more  
 Instead I walk alongside her and my heart is able to soar  
 We enjoy the warmth and the light  
 I am happy because I no longer fight

I am free  
 So long as she stands beside me  
 Together we prepare to stay  
 Though I know the darkness may try to return another day.

I have escaped the knife's edge.  
 The time will come for me to walk away  
 However, my love will always ask me to stay  
 At times gone as if I am the leaves in fall  
 Yet always do I return to her call
