One Step

Right now… Right here. On the edge.
Dark eyes. His eyes as black as sorrow.
Takes little step, a fall to follow.
Takes one step closer to the edge.

Silence. His wings are broken now.
And tears that fall into the abyss.
He’s one of them, of fallen angels.
His way, he’s found it all somehow.

The echo. Dead. The wind. It’s gone.
As lonely rain, pain drips the city.
He’ll jump, he’ll do it, he’s not kidding.
He’s made his choice. Goddam it all.

His thoughts. They hurt. His wings. They sore.
And deadly sins that sift through heaven,
His bros and sisters, all together
Here, on the edge, like long before.

The rain… like tears it scratches skin.
One step… to end it all forever.
With God and Hell, with hands together,
Payback for all their deadly sins.

Eyes of the abyss. Soft and deep.
It’s calling him. Step in the darkness.
Evil and good. Tender and heartless.
Death. One jump. Eternal sleep.
