The Cliffside


And off I fly into the perils of the night,

The biting cold wind freezing my face,

And causing tears to streak from my eyes

Need you never know

What happens when you tell me goodbye

For if you knew what you did to me when you left

You'd break down and cry

You'd think twice before telling me farewell,

And pushing me off of my delusional cliffside

Into the perils of the night

Only to climb back to my little slice of happiness, the cliff

Come morning

Chigahogie

I'm the oldest of five children, and am about to go to college. I strive to succeed and enjoy writing poems in my off-time. My poems come from the heart and I lack any formal "training", but I also believe you cannot train someone to write poems. My poems rarely rhyme, but I put all of my emotion in them.
