Coldness seeps Its way in,
I am falling deeper,
Into what I fear most,
As I reach out,
There is nothing there,
As possible there was something once,
Only to be gone,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer..

Then the sun has gone,
Darkness spreads its wings over me,
I see nothing, no one sees me,
Feeling of bitterness only,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer..

An Owl peers down,
With question in her eyes,
She doesn't see my pain,
Spreads her wings,
Passes me by,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer..

Shimmering in the darkness,
I see two moons,
Reflecting off a stream of thoughts
I take the plunge under the river,
Then the wind carries a whisper,
Gently on a breeze,
'Just a little longer.'..
(from 'just a little longer' by Maria Byrne)
