I Won't Die
December 6, 2011
I won’t die.
toes dangle off, into the water.
cool wind pecks my lips,
I swoon.
but I don’t fall.
I won’t die.
the blood only drops on the floor.
pale skin, and crazed eyes meet mine,
I gaze.
but then I stop.
I won’t die.
the city lights are beautiful from here.
colors, and speed steal my vision,
I tilt.
but I don’t jump.
But even if,
that icy water consumed me,
or that crimson, ruddy blood split from my neck,
or even if those city lights crushed me...
You wouldn’t come back.
