Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

Only Echo's

I stood on the edge and looked staight down..
I screamed from my heart but barely made a sound..

I rolled down the hill with each fall taking a piece of me..
I layed on the bottom where the earth meets the sea..

I floated away as my body drowned in the sunset..
I drifted into night with only the echo's of my cries left..
