The ledge grew closer
it’s edge ready to collapse
at the slightest weight
A need fueled push
all it would take

Fire burned through her soul
eyes locked onto the one
whose trust alone
kept her from that fall
into the throbbing hate filled rays

She watched him scroll across the screen of the glowing box he held in his large hands
The buzz of melodious string instruments assaulted her ears

He would not he could not
provoke her away from her plan
She edged closer to the opening
of the bottomless abyss
His scream of rage punching the walls

A long strong arm reached into the darkness pulling her free
He held her tightly to his chest
whispering fervently into her ear
“Now is not your time to die!”
