I Hope I Fall From the Edge

Perhaps falling in the future may be a bad idea.

I stand on the edge of the chasm

The chasm of oblivion

And stare into its dark blue depths.

I stand here, after crawling out of the very same chasm

Only moments ago

And I look, and admire

For I miss its all-encompassing hold.

I love it

I want it

Please give it to me

For anything at all is better than this hope

Bound and readied for slaughter

A sacrifice to feed the growing hunger

That hides behind the face of humanity.

I stand here, untouched by the bellowing winds

Unfeeling.

I am not blocked off from emotion

I have not become this way by choice.

I am lost within the emptiness in my breast

I am lost

For I poured all I had inside

Into those words I said

Those words I meant.

And now that anything spoken is carried away

By the winds I cannot feel

I have nothing to hold me here

And I stare into this chasm

Hoping to fall again

Into oblivion.
