'the ledge'
It's been hours, days,
months, now years,
since we last spoke.
Our phone conversations
seem so long ago.
And I haven't seen your face
in even longer.
You left me here.
Sometimes I think
you were glad to go,
even though you claimed
your heart would always
be with me.
Another lie, I suppose.
Sometimes, other times,
I wonder to myself –
Should I have kissed you?
We know I didn't,
but I wanted to so badly.
Maybe someday I'll be happy
I saved it for someone else.
You left during the darkest time
And yet your voice
was all that kept me alive
I don't think I've ever
thanked you for that
But now I stand on the ledge again
With no-one left to catch me,
And not even you to stop the fall.
