Letter

 I read your letter

it's stuck in my head

I felt the words you wrote

I felt the dread


And the scene you described to me

And the tale you decided to tell

shook me up


The elders at the table

with the flowers so blue

The decision to fall from

Heights beyond me and you


the crushing blow

the end of the breath of life

the devastation

the endless strife


I read your letter

and I cried more than a tear

I read your letter

and now I'm here


at the edge of the ledge of eternity

a step away from redemption

A breath away of uncertainty

and literal freedom


I step back

and punish all

who stay alive
