The Bridge:

With every step I take,

I replay these dreaded memories,

That have surfaced once again,

I remember when you pushed me,

Down those vile stairs,

And you'd beat me every day,

But i'd forgive you every time,

I remember that twisted smile,

You had on every day,

Hoping to scare me off,

Till I was on my all time low,

I remember when you said,

That you'd make this living hell,

I always thought you were joking,

But now i'm not so sure,

I'll tell you this,

You accomplished something,

Whilst others failed epicly,

Because you helped me realise,

That I really am worthless,

And that I should go to hell,

Now I have one thing left to say,

And thats to congratulate you for your help,

Because without you it'd be impossible,

To fulfill this sinful deed,

Now I stand here smiling,

At the top of Jersey Bridge,

Hoping you'd be proud,

Because you encouraged this,

I look around,

And see the city lights,

I take one last breath,

Of polluted oxygen,

One step further, that's all I need,

To stop those painful memories,

And end this stupid lie,

One more step it whispers,

It's not that hard it says,

This voice that haunts me,

Tells me to obey,

So I listen just this once,

And take that easy step,

See, it whispers,

It wasn't so hard it says,

I feel like i'm flying,

Falling into dark abyss,

I hope you're happy now,

Because this is what you did,

You pushed me too far one day, 

Now i'm falling off this bridge,

Never to be seen again,

Unless you count my pale white corpse,

At the mournful funeral.
