[ 2 - A Second Is All It Takes ]

146 6 1
                                    

at the edge of the rooftop,
ready to jump.
i looked to you
for the last time,
hoping you'd stop me.
all you did was sigh,
deciding to walk away.
but you turned back
just a second too late.
i was faster,
plummeting to the ground.
