One Last Breath

The Edge

I'm trying to stop slipping,
But with every mistake I come closer to the edge.
I can't seem to get back up when I fall down,
I'm slipping
Closer...
Closer...
And even closer...

I'm looking down at the ground,
Fighting the urge to fall.
I called out,
Someone save me!
But no one heard.
I'm still slipping,
Closer...
Closer...
Closer...

I'm trying to stand but the ground crumbles beneath me,
I'm growing weak,
I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

Then I let go.
And I'm free falling,
Still waiting to hit the bottom.
Closer...
Closer...
And closer...
