Very Close Poem by Javier Falcon

Very Close



I stand on this cliff looking at the view,
as I open my arms and calmness strikes,
letting all the pain go away from me,
into the air which just carries away.

As I turn around and see you there,
darkened, as I cannot see your face,
shadows being released from your body,
as I step backing noticing the vast emptiness below.

With the sun setting in the horizon behind,
as my heart holds back from loving you,
trying to hide the light which once you fed on,
giving me no chance of surviving you much longer.

As your darkness is strangling the life from me,
leaving me hopeless in this world,
all confused, not knowing what to do,
just on the peak of breaking down.

As you have me on the edge of this cliff,
as I wait for the right moment to free myself,
from you and everything you have done to me,
I slowly turn around, giving you a last look, and just jump.
