[hometext] => my love, standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to jump, ready to die
[bodytext] => the wind blew your dark hair back and ate your tears before they could fall the moon hung low, like a pale halo indifferent to the loss it's light revealed you gave your reasons, i gave lame responses and tired phrases to keep you here but, you laughed into the night swaying on the cliff's jagged edge you muttered, "ravens don't look back" i never understood what that meant two hours passed marked by sighs and rolled eyes as i grew tired of talking you down if you were so set then get it over with i was cold and i wanted a cigarette as dawn's dead light bathed your back in red i'd had enough of your game i bluntly asked, "do you really want to die?" without hesitation, you whispered, "yes" i stepped up behind you and drew you close i held you one last time through clenched teeth i said, "i love you,...well,... i used to love you but i can't keep doing this" you made a confused sound and i think you were about to say something else when i pushed you over the edge you spread your arms wide and for a moment i thought you would fly up and away from the pain that held you but, in the end, you just dropped like stone i didn't hear a splat or thud i just saw your body jerk and explode as you hit the rocks below and i knew it was over for someone who wanted to die so badly you screamed like a baby, the whole way down i turned and headed back to the car the wind gently pushing me down the path and the whole way to the car all i could think of was how good that cigarette was going to taste [comments] => 7 [counter] => 209 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
