Descent

By Jet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The dream is the sameDesperate. Lost. Alone.So dark it's blinding.So bright it's oppressive.I'm lost, flying, fallingFalling faster.Can't stop. Can't stop!I'm lost in a swirling sea.Sea of words, of emotionsOf 'what ifs' and 'could have beens'It crashes down and buries me.Rips at my soul with clenching fingersCold claws of darkness grasp kicking feetAnd pull with determined mightDown, down, ever downward.Unstoppable spiral into nothing.Abandonned. Alone. Forgotten.Adrift in an ocean of thought. Written October 29th, 2001 © on Oct 29 2001 08:54 AM PST   0 • 10
