Analysis of 8:32 pm
I went to sit at the top of the parking garage
To watch the sunset
But the sun had already gone down
So I sat and stared at the moon instead
I didn't mean to fall
I just had forgotten where I was
Why I had come to the parking garage
Why I was here
My heart was racing and I let it pull to me to the ledge and
Fall
I saw the moon as I fell
And I asked why he didn't help me
He stared back
"Why would I save you when you wouldn't save yourself?"
