My lover-My father-My protector Date: Saturday, 1st April 2006 @ 04:58:40 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Somnium my lover my father my protector He stands at the edge such a long way down and he calls me there I come up with so many excuses why not but unflinching he calls me again he does not heed my feeble protests I take a step nearer not wanting to comit to what I really want to do Theres so much stuff I like back here I say But really I know whats there is better but I can't leave it and let go He really calls me now two steps more I take to the edge. Still not close enough he says Cant we both stay here? i say but no, he says, come he calls I take another step little baby steps so I don't get too close But he isnt fooled why did I even try Hes got too many good reasons not to So i take another step then three more And Im at the edge My lover my father my protector looks at me in the eyes smiles at me tells me he loves me And pushes me down over the edge....
