Poem

It’s time...

The moment I finally leap.

What got me here is not what lets me fall…

But I’ll fly just the same.

You call me…

I listen…

And it hurts…

Sometimes you really do.

I watch my skin…

Tare away from my face.

Sliding, slamming, tripping --- down this building.

I wish I didn’t slip…

Maybe the tears made me forget…

If only someone were there to catch me…

I guess I’d break their arms.

But that’s ok…

Maybe it all is.

Yesterday, do you remember that?

That’s when I heard it…

It was the last time I would ever listen.

You said it --- and all things later did not matter.

When I shot you…

When I killed you…

I did not cry.

We are all waste air with our thoughts...

At least I helped.

Life never had to make sense, and maybe it never will.

But I’ve given up… so I’ll never know what’s what.

Just promise me, when I cross onto your side…

That you won’t hate me… because I can’t murder…

...what’s already dead.

This poem was inspired by message board... hoard... chaos... and life's daily stresses... or at least the stresses I made out of life due to perception and that alone. Regardless, I did not kill anyone... and I don't even think the poem is about me... just feelings... all feelings.
