The Face of Death
I stand in the rain,
as the tears fall down my face.
I think about the pain,
and the stupidity of my mistake.
I look down at my arms,
and of course i still see them.
Those hideous scars,
that brought so much pain and no freedom.
I'm soaking wet and freezing cold,
I shiver as the rain continues to fall.
I ask the question I want to know...
and no one answers-no one at all.
I'm all alone,
and it's getting dark,
I feel the pain,
of my broken heart.
I step onto the ledge,
and say a little prayer,
I thank God,
for always being there.
I jump and see the rushing water,
closer and closer I get,
I know my life will soon be over...
and now I've seen the face of death.
