Standing on a bridge about to jump
There was not water beneath me
Just the concrete of a highway
Leading to and from the city that weeps
Cars going past me so very fast
Too fast for a night like that
The pavement wet and all lights dim
Everything right for a car to slip
And start to spin and spin
In a way it will never stop
I took three buses and a cab
But I was mostly driven by my life
To that point of no return
Just to be let off at the right spot
Where I knew I could fall and not survive
I remember now a car went past
Doing eighty on the lane behind me
It went into a sharp turn entirely to fast
It slipped and spun and broke a barrier
Half went through and there it hung
When I went to help, it was too late
Something must have happened
They must have done something wrong
They must have
Pushed the accelerator instead of the brakes
Not half a second went by and it was gone
The only thing I could think of at the time was
I won’t be the only one to die tonight
My fates not the only one this dead end would seal
I went back to my spot and put my hands on the barrier
I held on and stoop up right too see how high I would be
Came back down and left a note saying goodbye
Made sure that it won’t be blown away and easy to find
I got back off and looked down again
Not much of a life flashed before my eyes
I bent down and pushed off with my eyes closed
I jumped and felt so free and at peace
That’s when he came into the picture
He caught me with his strong arms
I opened my eyes and looked into his and then he spoke
Don’t kill yourself give yourself to me and live
By my side for all eternity

Suicide Night Part One

I was there not long ago
Standing on a bridge about to jump
There was not water beneath me
