Finally Finished..."Love's Brink"

"who has ever been in love
who has ever been to the edge
and seen the depths of their love
really seen how far it went
seen just how far they would go
what they would do for the one they loved
have they discovered what they would sacrifice
have they found what they could gain
who has ever been completely consumed
with emotions so overwhelming
that they proved necessary for life
that they seemed incapable to live without
you see, i've been to the edge
to the limit of human anguish
i've been to the brink and seen
the endlessness of suffering
seen the desperate attempts of others
heard the woeful cries of many
people who have loved and lost
that they only remember lost
it's better only to a fool
from experiencing this pain only confirms a feeling they've once known
that the true meaning of life is in one's own heart
and emotions they're once felt
having the memories of their love
serve a painful reminders of a sense of lacking
but reminders that they once had
the greatest thing they'd ever know
who has ever been in love
who has ever been to the edge
i've been to the edge and seen
seen the depths of my love"
