and i stood, chest heaving up and down, in socks and clothes meant for summer. and the wind, it roared around me threatening to topple me over. and, i stared down the cliff, stares at the bottom and i wondered. wondered what i’d look like down there. pale and cold, ****** and broken. i wondered if i’d jump and my mind would stay here, toes buried in the sand as my body fell, tumbled and bounced. i wondered if i’d see the blood, watch it pool out around me, feeling calmer than i ever had and then, i stepped back from the cliff edge, perhaps another day.

perhaps (another day)
and i stood, chest heaving up and down, in socks and clothes meant for summer. and the wind, it roared around me threatening to topple me over. and, i stared down the cliff, stares at the bottom and i wondered. wondered what i’d look like down there. pale and cold, ****** and broken. i wondered if i’d jump and my mind would stay here, toes buried in the sand as my body fell, tumbled and bounced. i wondered if i’d see the blood, watch it pool out around me, feeling calmer than i ever had and then, i stepped back from the cliff edge, perhaps another day.
