Let me explain to you
That beautiful feeling
When you're on top of the mountain
You've peaked, it's the climax of your journey.
So when you turn around to see your friend,
Hoping for a wonderful smile; you've completed your mission,
But when you cock your head back
All you see is the sapphire stained sky
And an arm outstretched from the clifftop
Not to grab, not to help
But to make sure the deed was done
That your last thought was that of betrayal
That your last sound would be that of the waterfalls gushing gallons gallantly
That your last sight would be their grin of bastardy
Because the sting one feels when deception strikes is not one to smile at.
So you embrace the ice cold breeze as it slaps you on the back as you tumble and fall
You look to the branches for an embrace of arms as each smack chips a little bit more of you apart
You seek comfort in the river water that now fills your lungs, praying they fill fast
You pretend the rocks scraping your skin and bone away are the gentle kisses that father tucked you in with
Because the sheep's wool in the sky that clouds your vision rests upon you like a bedtime story
Lulling your heavy eyes to sleep as the soothing stream sings the last song you will ever hear
For from the top of the mountain one sees a stream stained in scarlet hues
A limp figure holds form, trapped on the bladed stones below
A warm breeze fills the air, rustling colors released from the nearest treetops
Both minds think a unified thought
"So this is what it feels like to die".
