Two Feet Away

 I stand two feet away from the edge
Tears and dirt falling upon the wooden box
The treasure of my hearts riches
Stored inside, -- forever to be locked

All that I was
All that I am
Descends with you

Memories have no expiration
Yet my skin is already becoming numb
Sorrows poison flows through my veins
Circulating with no other place to run

All that I was
All that I am
Dries up with you

Now I have to search for you
Without any maps or direction
Will you wait for me in your world?
Please God show some compassion

All that I was
All that I am
Needs to live in you

Embraced by the chill of darkness
Without you there’s no story to tell
How long will I have to wait?
To not stand two feet from hell
