Thoughts race as I brace myself <br />to get onto the chair again. <br />I test the rope, <br />fastened tightly to the roof. <br />Not one slip, not one chance <br />of escape from this hole <br />that eats me from the inside out. <br />The note’s on the table - <br />go see…it’s for you! <br />It’s not called a leap of faith <br />for no reason you know. <br />Before I take this final step, <br />I wanted you to know: <br />I love you…I, love you! <br />It’ll pull tight around me, embrace me, <br />smother me, then kill me. <br />But this has to end today, now! <br />Goodbye my love. <br />Be strong for me now. <br /> <br />Goodbye<br /><br />Wynand Johannes Louw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodbye-9/
