The Ledge

It stood there up against time decayed from water that had fallen from every gray sky it leaned over thousands of miles of nowhere into the depth of extinction It had been built many and it had been cracked by weight of unusual manners that took place I came to seek its solace and its confidence the world is just a shadow my life is just a pebble in the sand I stood on-top of it with my arms out as if I could maybe one day reach the sky but beneath the gravel was my intention I stood there with my life on the tip of my finger as if I couldn't linger any longer What if I just let go? What if nobody would ever know? What if I could just fall into eternal darkness for wasted days gone by the clock chimed and the ledge didn't give out my answer was satisfied
