That one cold winter night,
Not one person was in sight.
I convinced myself. Everything was gonna be alright.
The wind flew in my hair,
Not one cold stare.
As the sorrow shook my chest bare.

I had said goodbye, to all those I love.
I had tied that letter to the messenger dove.
‘I love you all’ I'd written.
‘This isn't your fault, I had been bitten.
By sorrow and pain and all that hurt.
I'm sorry for being oh so curt.
I love you all, please don't cry.
I have to bade you a final goodbye.
Been strong too long, now finally weak.
Happiness in Death, I now seek.
I love you all, don't ever forget that.
Remember your crazy lil brat.’

Words shatter the silence, what is that I hear?
A wise voice, coming near.
‘Throwing away your life, is that what you wanna do?
If that's your final decision, I'll take it as my cue.
Leave the ledge today and have them sprawled over your dead body.
Or show them your strength, before it becomes ******.
Decide today, its your life, after all.
Destiny is for idiots. YOU make the dominos fall.
Show them your strength. You're stronger than they could ever be.
Its time for them to see’

I let go of the idea,
And everything was soon alright.
I saw every facet of reality,
In that one cold winter night.
