The Fall

by Timothy S   Dec 18, 2005


To climb so high, just to feel so free
The rooftop view so beautiful in the cool breeze
Find the redemption in suicide, ending me
Thoughts enter of jumping into the black sea
To forever fall into nothing, what's happening
I find myself dazed in this place unknown
But I've been here before, in my dream
This is where I end my life, to give it meaning
No fear of heights, just want to fly freely
Like the fallen angel I really am, with clipped wings
Gripping the edge with my feet, can't believe I'm seeing
Everything so clearly, more perfect than my dream
I feel myself slipping under my skin
Watching my body fall, the flash of everything
So suddenly stopped as the ground's collapsing
Opening to fall further down, what's happening
Hell's gates broken, gone depths unfathomed
Telling me slowly in whispers, "This is what happens
when you're ungrateful for everything you have and
make peace with me now, and maybe
in the next life this won't happen"
