Falling

Falling and falling,
No bottom in sight,
I slipped off the ledge
And I’m shrouded in fright,
I’m caught in slow motion,
With nothing to climb,
Falling and falling,
I’m frozen in time.

Falling and falling,
With no hope at all,
Of anything capable,
Stopping my fall,
I’m panic on steroids,
I’m stuck in a race,
Falling and falling,
With no one to chase.

Falling and falling,
My mind like cement,
I try to move forth,
But I already went,
Through webs of revulsion,
Through depths of despair,
Falling and falling,
I’m not really there.

Falling and falling,
I’m gripped with remorse,
Can anyone save me,
Let grief run its course,
I’m thrust into chaos,
Cursed in a dark spell,
Falling and falling,
No heaven, just hell.

Falling and falling,
No matter the game,
The light becomes darkness,
The guilt becomes shame,
It’s madness I tell you,
Emotions for rent,
Falling and falling,
I’m utterly spent.

Falling and falling,
Too shattered, too old,
There’s no one to reach for,
There’s nothing to hold,
The loneliness seeping,
Through cracks in my soul,
Falling and falling,
Too broke to be whole.

Falling and falling,
Too hoarse to be heard,
I choke and I puke,
On my every word,
Caught up in a nightmare,
Of wretched disdain,
Falling and falling,
It’s here I remain.

Falling and falling,
The bottom is near,
I brace for the impact,
I plummet with fear,
I wonder if ever,
My life will be bliss,
Falling and falling,
Survive the abyss.
