jump

this is it  
the point of no return  
looking out the window of the plane  
ready to jump  
and you never even contemplated  
bringing a parachute  
this wasn't ever meant  
to slow down  
this was only ever meant  
to make you fly  
but now the edge is here  
and I am afraid  
afraid that when I approach it  
and decide    
it too precarious a precipice to cross  
a shoulder check  
will quickly reveal  
no one  
is  
there  
I walked to this edge alone  
no hands to pull me back  
as what was once support  
is now lacking  
but
what can I say  
I guess I always knew  
that this was going to have to end  
by jumping
