At the top of the cliff,
Feet at the edge,
The salty breeze in my hair,
One hand grips the flower,
A brilliant red,
The one you gave me,
It's cold,
My feet are bare,
My hair loose around my shoulders,
My eyes closed,
I remember every moment,
You and me,
Laying on the beaches cool sand,
The water ebbing,
You said you loved me,
You lied,
I said I love you too,
I meant it,
Squeezing my eyes tighter ,
To stop the tears ready to explode from captivity,
The pain in me,
To much to bare,
Blades against skin,
A new pain,
Sweet release from yours,
But when that doesn't help,
And nobody listens,
What choice do I have,
A deep breath,
Lungs full of the oceans air,
I open my eyes,
Spread my arms,
And leap,
One last thought,
* I'll miss you
