on the verge of going over the edge
my mind races with thought
staring out over the ledge
thinking of all the times we fought
who the hell cares when you're this close to the edge
i could never escape all the trouble you brought
about how between me and my desires you were a wedge
all those hints you never caught
all the knowledge
all the things that i sought
so this is what i pledge
never to let you abuse my freedom of thought

"Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called by the Masai "Ngàje Ngài," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude." - Ernest Hemingway, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro"

I just got off work, I'm tired, wanted to write, this came out. I added the Hemingway quote because why not, and its kind of fitting. Enjoy.
