Favorite Quote:
"There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion."- Edgar Allan Poe


I stand on the edge.
My hair whipping wildly in the ebony wind.
Whispering serenity.
Sanity crumbles under my bare feet,
Tumbling down
  Down
  Down.
My eyes stare blankly at the abyss before me, the memories before me.
I stare.
And stare.
And stare.
But do not see.
I am falling,
Falling like I did long ago.
  Falling, but standing still and quiet.
Falling, like you fell in that hangman’s noose.
