Let me leave you with these words
Before I depart for the night
To pick up the pieces
Of my shattered heart
I shall sleep this eve
And dream of all others
Including her now...
I walk to the edge
And watch it all below
Will she stand with me?
And make the final leap?
Into what might be pain
Before there is love
Or shall I leap alone?
And fly by myself
To feel the pain alone
And mayhaps find another
Who might take this leap again
And so they say
You must bleed
To know you are alive
I bleed the other night
I know now I am still alive
And yet, I feel mostly dead
Or rather, slowly dying
So I stretch out my arms
And tilt back my head
Closing my eyes to the world
And replaying what she said
I put one foot forward
Into what may very well be my grave
And I fall
And fall...
And yet....
My friends are there
And pull me back up
They wont let me down
They wont let me die
I raise back up
And watch her there
Standing at the cliff
With someone else there
And yet, my place is open still.
