Edge of Sanity
I am sitting here on the edge of your sanity. Dare cross and your eternity will be altogether different. I do not promise me, nor do I expect you. Hope runs rampant in my world. Here you can be true to yourself, and open in your love. There are risks, and there are hazards. The price is no more than death, and the reward is no less than everlasting love. Step back and you risk little. I invite you to step up.
(One more thing: Death is a peaceful love of blue-brown-eyed people with hysterical laughs and soft, gentle, meaningful features.)
