The bridge

Standing on the edge. Looking down below at thousands of train cars. 

So high on drugs. 
Wondering to myself can I?
Will I?
Do I have the strength to step back down from this edge. 
Replaying the nights events in my head. 
How we went to dinner. And how I couldn't eat. You questioning me why I was acting so funny?  Simple reply that I wasn't hungry. 
Time was standing still. In a blink of an eye. 
I was sitting in a chair not knowing how I got there. Yelling and screaming at me telling me I was stupid and I should just die. 
Leaving in tears. Angry driving to the bridge. Standing here. Telling myself to just die...
