The Brink Where Faith Lived.

As the past presses its heavy baggage against me, forcing recognition
Nowhere to escape to but my present that awaits divine salvation.
It lies broken with shattered hopes at my feet; my today.
And hollow tomorrows that promise nothing but more pain.

Time betrays my strength and joins the army of darkness 
That has taken over my yesterday and greed for my sadness.

Wishes that found no shooting star, dreams with clipped wings
Chained up in the dusty attic of rusted thoughts that once sang
The hopeful melody of sweet anticipation is now a lament; weeping
Its frustrated agony away, reliving the tragedies that shook up all matters.

With nor a tiny flicker of hope neither the promise of unconditional love
To feed on for its last moments, died a dream that day; fed on by darkness.
Light said its last prayers as shadows crawled over its abode,
This was it - the doom that awaited my tomorrows has come today.

Flashes of a lifetime chasing into oblivion, the last ray is there.
It is standing at that point of existence giving way to an afterlife.
The brink, edging along my saturation point where I intend to fall off,
 Into nothingness swallowing my agony and with it the reign of light dies.

I leap, into a sea of nothing. Ending it all; the pain, the hope
That lived for so long, is now floating in a space that nor gives and neither takes.
No path to follow and no deeds to be done - only bliss.

Then, faith grabs me hard out of nowhere tightening its grip around me
Refusing to die, that little thing that held on tight and stubborn in its stand
Not letting me go, never backing down a second, fighting for its belief.

It’s a leap of faith, I am reminded as time sharpens its sword
And backstab the dark; it all fell in place as faith hugs my hope
And kissed the pain goodbye; I jumped off the edge and lived.
Like I have never dreamt of existing before; I lived in faith.

The brink, time, darkness and light bow down to strong faith.
It was all I needed, it was everything I wanted.
Faith breathed a prayer.
