I stood on the balcony

In the dead of night.

Cold air on my skin

And the glow from a street light

I took a deep breath and

Thought things through.

Why should I stay here being tortured,

By you.

One jump, and it would be done.

No one can save me.

I just have to run.

Run from my friends and

my family too.

Run from my mind

and run from you.

Calm my breathing

And stop the tears.

Relax my muscles

Forget my fears.
