Just a little longer

Desolation,

Wide open space,

Between the trees and me,

Emptiness and me,

Confusion and decisions,

Feelings hard to define,

And I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

Coldness seeps

Its way in,

I am falling deeper,

Into what I fear most,

As I reach out,

There is nothing there,

As possible there was something once,

Only to be gone,

And I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

The sun drops,

The last inch of light falls,

The squirrels more likely to be huddled up,

But not me,

Something I never possessed,

And I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

Then the sun has gone,

Darkness spreads its wings over me,

I see nothing so no one sees me,

Feeling of bitterness only,

And I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

An Owl peers down,

With question in her eyes,

She doesn't have a hope,

In helping me,

As she doesn't see my pain,

Spreads her wings,

Passes me by,

And I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

The soft earth,

Seems the only thing holding me up,

Even then I could slip,

And wondering takes me,

To why and how I got here,

Without even knowing it,

Yet no one notices,

As they didn't see before,

So I say to myself,

Just a little longer,

Shimmering in the darkness,

I see two moons,

Reflecting off a stream of thoughts,

Ongoing forever more,

Along a rocky road,

Slowly giving in to finding a way out,

I take the plunge under the river,

Then the wind carries a whisper,

Gently on a breeze,

'Just a little longer.'
