Simply Slipped
Gone astray to a broken bridge
Letting my mind wander and my legs dangle
Fighting the urge to drop below
Temptation overwhelms my frigid limbs, numb with pain
One step away from the end
A wicked thought pushed to the cliff's edge
Ready to force out the life,
Stomp out the jealousy, take out the spark
Steady for just a single moment
Alive and breathing for once in my life
Make the death blow quietly away
Take my dreams into a jar, securely closed
Slip into the ice of another place
Leave this cruel world with one more word
Forget the past and the future
Live in what they believe is the present
Suck in the last breath, LIFE
Exhale...and jump because this is the beginning
