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.
