They batter me through
and through
and through:
the fighting that I held strong with
along the edges of the world
In the places where we wither
in spaces I once loved to be
where I was with you, and you with them
alone, with you with me
But no matter how long I try
your mouth won't open to catch the stars
that I spill from my lips
trying to bring life to yours
From the edges of the world
where you run from me
and I run after you
to pull you into a thousand things
and show you how to breathe
Author notes
I catch the world's edge, and pull you over it, my love. Because here, in this place, is where we are meant to be.

While I think this would make a wonderful song, it is far over the word limit. Thank you for writing for me anyway
