Simon Nixon Poet Rhyme

Edge of the world

Standing on the edge of the world
With one foot in the air 
The Crashing waves beneath him
Crying tears of despair 
Another death won’t matter 
Who would really care 
He broke his vow and prayed to god
But god was never there 
He close his eyes to listen 
To the drumming of his heart
It beats the story of a broken man
Who tore himself apart 
The drink just made him bitter 
The drugs just numbed the pain 
All his friends don’t understand
The thoughts going through his brain 
So he walked to the end of the world
With a though so clear and sober 
He took a breath to clear his mind
And took one more step over.
