Falling

I took that one last step...
Thinking it was right...
But now as I'm falling
Through the air...
To my great demise...
I begin to think back
On my life...

I remember...
My first kiss...
Oh how nice it felt,
I was so nervous...
I thought I was
Going to choke...
And when it was
All said and done
We began to laugh
Cause you felt the
Same way too...

I remember...
The first poem
I wrote that I
Got an A on...
I felt as though
I were the greatest
Poet of all time...
I didn't stop writing
For a week...till
I realized that
Everything I wrote
After that was
A pitiful attempt
At a poem...

I remember...
The fist puppy
That was brought
Home for me...
He ran up to me
And crawled into
My lap to hide
From everyone else...
Then licked me in
The face to say
He loved me...

I remember...
So much joy...
Why is it again
That I walked off
The side of this building?

I remember...
All the nights I
laid there crying
After you were done
With all your yelling...
I feared that one
Of these days you
Would do more than
Yell for hours...
And that day came...

I remember...
All the cuts that
Seemed to take
So long to heal
That caused me
Oh so much pain...

I remember...
The way that
Razor felt as
I slid it across
My blood stained,
Scabby wrist...

I remember...
The pain I felt
Right before I
Took that last step...
My last step...
