As I take a step towards the never ending drop off, I near tiny rocks tumbling down to the waves below. The memories of you, of us crashing into my head. Pounding, beating, coming in with each wave I hear yet again another lie. Each memory more painful than the last. Trying not to let it take control of me. The sound from the violent waters beneath me digs the knife in even deeper; pushing me towards the edge. Looking down I can see the swirling truth that has been hidden for too long. Faced with the choice of which way to go. Another lie! Another excuse! I can feel you trying to reel me back in with your soft, gentle, untruthful words. I start to turn back to you when you shoot out another bullet of silver. Feeling myself wobble on the edge of the sharp cliff fro the impact taken. Wondering if you will reach out to catch me before I fall, but your eyes filled with red and your lips form to a slight smile, your body does nothing but stand taller with more pride than it did before. You have made your final move so I must make mine. I stop fighting, stop trying to catch my balance. At last see where you truly stand. I surrender and give in to the current that will carry me far away from my everything that has turned out to be yet another lie.
