Spiralling down
Into the void,
That I unearthed.
My nails, imbedded in the stone,
Do not slow my descent.
I repent, but it will not stop me;
I watch helplessly as the world
Disintegrates around me,
As blackness surrounds me
And those that love me,
Disappear above me.
I feel despair
Working its way through my skull,
Like a slow crack
Through weak glass,
It splits my eyes -
They flush red
And pour liquid misery into pools
That I long to drown in,
But falling is all I have left.
And as blackness surrounds me
And failure consumes me,
I acceptingly plummet
Into the abyss.
