So Close
I don't how much more I can take.
You're bending me until I break.
You're making me get closer to the ledge.
Soon I'll be falling off the edge.
Hitting the ground.
I will lose all sight and sound.
Do you even realize that you have hurt me?
Or must i scream for you to see.
I should have been cunning,
and just started running.
But I didn't and look at me now.
Being to late, disobiedence you will not allow.
This is all you have left of a life.
So now you cut mine away with a verbal knife.
I must ignore your pounding in my head.
Before I too, am dead.
