Notes About The Poem

At the Edge

Sitting at the edge
Fire lights flickering by my face
Eyes frozen shut 
The coldness comes through my dangling foot
Moving my head 
It  s c r e a m s 

I escape without you
Only you were supposed to be here- 
In the light 
It swept you  u p 
Into the light
Y o u went into the  l i g h t
Seeking your heart

At the edge 
Wailing
Into the darkness
Coldness stifles the pain
Cold over takes my pain
Rocking back n forth 
The coldness numbs the pain
Bring the bottle out
It can’t be found
Coldness stifles the pain
