The Edge

That familiar deep, dark cloak of despair

Engulfs me, wraps me, keeps me safe

And slowly draws me closer to the edge

The other side of the cliff -

So comforting, no worries, no pain

The seductive emptiness of eternal sleep

So I gave in today and jumped off the cliff

My dark cloak floating behind me

To be caught by some angel and

Put on another lost soul.
