Levels of Love

 

Is life really worth it?

Is it really fair?

It’s time to end it

Wait, do I dare?

A little bit closer

Toes at the edge

Waiting for someone

To talk me out of my pledge

Nobody comes

I’m left on my own

A last gasp of life

Into the wind I am thrown

I hear your anguishing cries

Just seconds too late

You found my note of goodbye

I was in a sorrowful state

Twelve stories down

Thinking of you

You could have come with me

Together forever we two

Floor number nine

Am I doing right?

Leaving you alone

With this terrible plight?

Number six rises up

Out of the blue

My mind filled with nothing

But visions of you

I’ve done the wrong thing

I need to retract

There are ways of coping

Other than this terrible act

Floor number three

I scream out your name

Hoping that will release

Some of my shame

I will not be with you

In body no more

Always with you in spirit

Forever

Evermore
