Sweet Demise Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

I’m hanging by a thread,
the thread you unknowingly dangle above the lion,
and I have to choose
either death by you
or death by the fall
and it’s just too hard to decide
my sweet, sweet demise.
So benevolently I ask,
I ask of you,
please just live on
live on without me
for I feel I’m the one that drags you down,
drags you down and drowns you in the sea.
So hopefully I plead,
I plead to you
let loose the thread you hold,
the thread I hold as well,
so I won’t hurt anymore,
nevermore forcing a connection to you, and you to me.
