Just one step
The moon may glisten,
but my thoughts still dark.
Just one step, only one.
Am I just going to give up?
A fear of heights, I don't have
A fear of tomorrow? Maybe.
I stood there, hours it seemed
But it had only been minutes.
Just one step, only one.
My heart beat against my chest,
I starred downward, at the serenity of the landscape.
Only soon to be tainted by blood.
The cool metal railings seemed to shake as cars passed by
I was left unnoticed.
Just one step, only one.
It would cure me of my pain,
erase the loss and heartache.
declutter my mind,
put my soul at rest.
Just one step, only one.
The way off the bridge seemed to be miles long.
The only way out was down.
Just one step, only one.
