Jump

What if I jump

And moments 

Before my toes emerge into the water

Time stops

And I stay in suspense

For all of eternity

My heart would still beat

And the ocean waves would still move

But I 

Would freeze in midair 

I could still feel the sea breeze

Comb through my hair

Maybe time wouldn't stop

Just me

Things would go on

The world would still spin

The sun would still set and rise

I could watch it every day

Set and Rise

Watch the day turn tomorrow 

Without going into tomorrow 

And I could watch today turn to yesterday

Without ever leaving today

I would just stay in a hole between times

Never facing the next and leaving the last

What if while I stood in the air

Between times

Watching the days turn to dust

I could be forgotten

No

Nonexistent 

If I was never here in the first place

Then I would have never experienced

Things like pain

Sadness 

Heart break

Things like love 

And happiness

Would be separated from my body

Before I jump

Those things would stay in moving time

So maybe, just maybe

When I jump

My toes won't ever touch the ocean

Maybe I would freeze

And watch everything around me

Leaving my small measure of joy

To someone else 

And taking all the hurt with me

Cause no one deserves my pain

No one but me

The world can't be that different with

One 

Less 

Person

Dark, sincere, and amazing. I couldn't stop reading once that I started, and I enjoyed every bit of it.
Well done and keep on writing.
