Prompt:
I walked the edge where shadows live, Where life had nothing left to give. The doctors whispered quiet fears, And time dissolved in blood and tears. Each breath a fragile, trembling call, Too weak to rise, too faint to fall. The world grew thin, the light grew cold, And I became the story told. Pre‑Chorus I slipped beneath the final line, Where silence hums, where stars decline. A place both terrible and divine, Where even angels dare not shine. Chorus Between the breaths I borrowed, I died. In the hollow where the living hide. The dark took hold, the flame grew dim, And I became the ghost within. Now every heartbeat burns like pain, A rhythm carved from death’s domain. Between the breaths I borrowed, I bled— Alive again, but touched by the dead. Verse II I saw the void where endings start, The quiet room behind the heart. Where all our fears dissolve like rain, And nothing follows us but pain. Yet through that dark, a spark returned, A trembling flame the shadows spurned. It dragged me back from death’s embrace, And left its mark upon my face. Pre‑Chorus I woke to light I could not name, Alive again, but never the same. Death pressed its bruise beneath my skin, And whispered softly, “You’ll never win.” Chorus Between the breaths I borrowed, I cried. Through the silence where the soul must hide. The world now moves in softer hue, Each color sharper, each wound more true. I’ve seen the place where endings start, And carry its echo inside my heart. Between the breaths I borrowed, I bled— Alive again, but touched by the dead. Bridge I’ve died and lived, been torn and remade, Walked through the dark the angels evade. Now every dawn feels carved in gold, A fragile gift I dare to hold. But shadows linger at the seam, Between the waking and the dream. I stand between both worlds somehow, Not who I was, nor who I am now. Final Chorus (Whispered / Echoing) Between the breaths I borrowed, I fade. In the silence that the dark has made. Each heartbeat hums a ghostly tone, A borrowed rhythm, not my own. Between the breaths I borrowed, I bled— Alive again, but touched by the dead.
