She asks the darkness,
"Who will catch me when I fall?
Who will fix me when I break?"

The silence leaves her in tears,
crumpled on the floor
like a shattered porcelain doll.

He walks in and finds her there,
at the end of her rope,
holding to life with one hand.
 
He whispers to her:
"I see you on the edge,
thinking that giving up is the only way.

I have heard your cries
while the walls drown them out,
and I know what you feel inside."

She blinks through sobs
but doesn't say a thing;
She discounts his words as lies.

She has made up her mind-
she is ready to give up on life
because it gave up on her.

He grabs her just as she lets go;
he pulls her up
and she clings to him.

He says, "Don't be afraid.
The world is a terrible place
but love makes it better.

And I have loved you
even when you hated yourself,
when you felt hopeless.   

And if you ever find yourself
close to the brink of falling,
I'll give you wings.

I will teach you how to fly
so you can be free from your past,
the cage of your sorrow."
