I'm slipping down into the deep ravine.

The sticks and branches break me at the knee.

The darkness has already consumed me.

Don't let anyone kid you. This place is mean.

The swamp resides on bottom the ravine.

Once inside, good luck breaking yourself free.

Panes of glass soon begin encasing me.

Just a few have the key to intervene.

A gentle storm washes away the pains.

All is healed with flashes of lightening.

The rumble of thunder ends the complains.

What once I found comfort, now frightening.

The darkness fades with the pouring of rains.

What once scared me is now enlightening.

Watch your tongue, I'll have it cut from your head.

End of passion play, crumbling away.

Hello, I've waited here for your ever long.

I don't know where I'm going.

You were in college working part-time, waiting tables.

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm.

I was a midnight rider on a could of smoke.

Beauty queen of only eighteen.

You and I go hard.

Back in black, I hit the sack.

I stare down the edge of the cliff.

"I found him with another woman. Surely he won't miss me when I'm gone." I think.

I sit down in the soft, sweet, sandy grass at my feet, listening to the whisper of the wind through the tress and the gentle cries of the birds as they soar above me. I close my eyes, taking in all the familiar sounds that I won't get to hear anymore, etching them into my memory as if I'll be able to take them with me.

Once again, he comes to mind. Him, the love of my life, and the biggest disappointment I'd ever faced.

"He never loved me. No one loves me. He was only proof of that. No one will ever miss me." I whisper.

In the distance I hear children laughing happily as they're playing at the playground.

"So innocent. No ones had the opportunity to hurt them yet." I mutter.

Drawing one last deep breath, I gather what's left of my courage and I jump. As I fall, I hear him scream my name.
