winds on the cliff

Sitting up on this cliff, 

Legs below me. 

Tapping my fingers on the loose rocks

Smiling as they fall 

Winds of whispers surround me

Dark faces fill my eyes

The cold blood seeps from my hands

Trickling from my veins 

I did this

Winds slap me around, pushing me closer to the edge

Some one is going to die 

The shrieking in my ear makes me deaf

You could have saved her

The beautiful voice calls to my mind 

It's done

Death has filled the air

whisperings of the life taken, the trees chatter

Sands fill my torn out eyes 

Fear of the one who did this seared into them

Goodbye

dragged off the cliff

thrown away into the depths of a blue cold hell

no one will ever know 

of the person who did this horrible act

the winds have taken the secret

throwing it into the air as it twirls away, into nothingness. 

For she has been thrown into the ocean!!!!

this is amazing... what did she do?
not sure if i am interpreting this right, but to me, it sounds like someone that had the chance to save a friend from committing suicide and didn't take them seriously, and now they want to die themselves because they did not save a friend when they had the chance.
did i get it right?
either way, this is a fantastic poem!

A very powerful poem. The tension and situation made the poem strong and a pleasure to read. I like your description and directness in the poem. A very good ending to a a excellent poem. Thank you.

the intrigue..who died..why and by whom...you give a little away..and leave us guessing

A life taken, but taken by who - herself, the one who didn't stop them or a separate person - murder or suicide. And is she going to jump herself or simply considering it? So many questions from so many answers - a swirling vortex of a poem - I absolutely loved it.
