Is this the only way out?
Every cry for help was a shout
But there wasn't a soul to listen (literally)
Everyone says when they see me they've been meaning to call
What a nice thought, right?
If all those thoughts added up would they be enough to save me from the fall
when I jump?
The silence in this place is killer
The emptiness so vast there wouldn't be enough filler
Even the pen in my hand echoes when it drops
I imagine how great it'd feel to take a breath while standing on the edge
of that ledge
One last sigh
A sigh of relief
The wind in my hair as I'm falling
I'll pretend my phone is ringing because someone's actually calling
But as usual
no one is there to catch me
And I hit concrete
That's what falling in love usually feels like anyway
Only this time that landing won't be so figurative
(Yes, I'm fine. Expressing my feelings through poetry is how I manage even if every second of my existence feels painful.)
