forever on my left
forever on my right
a black expanse stretches
after the crooked edge.
I back away from it
to give myself room
to run.
I take off
sprinting over the grass
that peters out to dirt,
hard packed dirt.
One step from the edge, I jump
springing into the air
throwing myself over the egde
to end my misery
by ending my life.
After the time I spent
wallowing in pain
and convincing myself
that I'd never see you again
seeing you...
seeing you reach desperately into the blackness
and I realize
a despairing truth.
I wasn't the only one
being killed by loss
and by jumping
I ruined any chance I had
at salvation.
Death is not the answer
reunitement is.
And my answer is gone with the wind...
