On top of a building

by xRachelx   Jan 26, 2005


He stands on top of the building,
He says he cant take things anymore.
He lost everything he ever cared about,
The day his wife walked out the door.

Down below the crowd watch in horror,
They feel so helpless, they despair.
They need to make this man realize,
That actually they care.

He thinks whats the point in living in this world,
The world only took his kids and wife.
To get away from all this sorrow,
He knows he has to end his life.

Someone on the ground starts screaming,
Another starts weeping too.
They need to stop him before its too late,
But they don't know what to do.

He pauses for a second,
And takes a deep breath.
He thinks only one thing can stop the pain he is feeling,
And that thing, is death.

The crowd are getting frantic,
Its seems nothing can change his mind.
Nothing anyone says or does can persuade him,
Not to leave it all behind.

Suddenly he walks right to the edge of the building,
He jumps and as he flies.
He knows he'll be back with what he lost,
And with that thought, he dies.
