Down,

down

d o w n

I fall,

hopelessly, carelessly

through it all.

Landing on my back

the pain numbs the feeling

of an empty soul.

Down,

down

d o w n

I fall,

hoping that this of all things

will bond me with the dirt

that you shoved me into,

kicking my fragile bones

till you were satisfied with my distress.

Down,

down

d o w n

I fall,

with my eyes on fire

and my body on call.
