The Fall

You only live once.
That echoed in my mind as I jumped.
Fear struck me in the heart,
Like an arrow piercing my innards.
Heights are not my strong suit,
And I'm not good at cards.
This is no poker game,
And this is no poker face.
The wind gushes out,
Like a mad geyser
With an over-controlling nature.
I'm falling.
I'm falling.
I can't go back,
I can only go one way,
I can only go down.
No luck of the draw,
This isn't lucky,
It isn't even safe.
You only die once,
But this is a fate worse than death.
I'm frozen, yet, alive.
It's paralyzing,
And I can't take it.
I have my limits you know,
This is crazy.
I would never do such a thing
If circumstances did not demand it.
I swear, I'll never lose another drinking bet.
