I dislike this one, but here you go,

The gift of your voice

rolls off your tongue,

with each bitter syllable biting,

chewing,

and spitting out

unfathomable insults

laced in pretty little boxes

coaxing me through sand paper wrapping

closer,

unsteady feet fumbling towards the edge

Jump your insults persist

Jump, and it all will be over

no longer spend your days

wasted on hopless prayers

fruitless wishes,

jump and the bitter pill of solitude

no longer has to be swallowed

jump and no longer bear the burden of broken wings

jump because everyone loves a dead girl,

each word and explosion of peace,

poking exactly where I needed it

I inched closer,

the rush of winds mixed with the roaring waters,

If I jump,

when I jump,

the roars respond tickiling me

all my senses alive with the whisper

jump

I fall only to be caught in midair,

it must have been a sight

to just see the body dangling there

pulled back to ground by ungrateful hands

but even they whisper

you should have jumped
