Sometimes

Chapter 4

Pleading, begging for the latter Pleading, begging for him to stop Begging the lover that went awry To rethink their actions Alas, their listening is turned off And hands shove me roughly I lose my footing And fall off the building We had declared our love on As screams echo from below me And the wind pulls my hair above me And I stare at the stars floating on the sky I take in a deep breath And close my eyes I realize something As I continue falling down the towering skyscraper Sometimes the fall is the most peaceful thing before death. ~a poem by Kira Mae Henson (Student of House Slytherin)
