Falling (Poem)



Falling

Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
That is all that I am doing now.
I see above me a light that burns my flesh when it touches me,
And the pain inside begins to growl.
A dark, glassy lake lay there beneath me,
Yet, it dare not draw nigh.
As I fall further into the abyss,
The voices speak to me more and more.
Each one is so crisp and clear,
That as each wave nears my ear,
My throat is closing,
And, thus, I doth begin choking.
Choking not on water,
Nor choking on the air.
I am drowning in my own hot, red blood,
And feel as if evil is holding me in his loathsome stare.
I continue falling,
But not in any direction.
My heart is being grasped,
Not by mere mortal hands,
But by this deep, dark, lonely depression.
The blade of relief is there in the hand,
It’s shining, yet dull, edge glows red with obsession.
As the lashes appear on my wrist,
The tears begin to fall.
The pain is no more,
But the memories make be bawl.
I was told I was a diamond,
And to shine bright like a star.
This I cannot believe,
For my whole being has been crushed.
My heart has been pressed, and prodded, and tried.
Not until this moment,
Has my heart been turned to dust.
My love for thee is broken,
And, no more, in you can I trust.
I finally hit the bottom,
And the waters of the lake surround me.
All is still and silent,
And I drift into sleep.
Then I finally hear it,
It rang out ever so sweetly.
A heavenly voice did call to me,
As my soul sunk downward,
Unto the bottom of the black sea.
