"Forever," we said, well where is she?
She promised me she'd always be there, well where is she?
You and me against the world she said,
but where is she? She who has left me with all these tears to shed.
I'm at the edge of the cliff, will I finally go to heaven and meet my friend?
I'm not sure, I'm hanging on by a thread.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
Is the book I call 'my life' coming to an end?
It's unfair isn't it?
I lived and she didn't.
But will this put me out of my plight?
I think so, it would right?
Well 'forever' she said.
She never mentioned where.
Maybe heaven is where we're meant to be?
Maybe that's where we'll finally find peace?
This cruel world would never let us survive,
No matter how much we tried, it was impossible to thrive.
Not accepted. We were hated, hated for being who we are,
Hated for being brave enough to follow our heart.
I can feel the intrusive thoughts taking over,
I say to myself, "It's now or never".
Walking up to the edge, step by step, tears in my eyes,
I think, "What would mom think? Will they feed my 4 year old brother with lies?"
I can hear her voice in my head, telling me to not give up,
I scream, "But how do I survive when you're far above?"
My mind flashes back to my best memory,
The moment we met as children, sitting under a tree of ebony.
Would that little child want me to do this?
I hear her again, "no" she whispers.
She tells me to look in a mirror,
once I look I will see, someone who just wants to be happy.
"Don't do this", I hear it in my deep heart's core.
Her soothing voice I cannot ignore. 
I take a step back, look up and see, her staring down at me,
Saying I have made her more proud than she'll ever be.
