I’m falling
Falling
Falling
Down into nothing
I barely have something
What I have is a tiny spark that’s been dying all these years
Soon it’ll be gone
Then I’ll be gone
And the world won’t even care
The world will go on oblivious
I’ll open my eyes in the blackness and still feel
I’ll feel myself being ripped open
I’ll feel the unzipping of my DNA
The pain
And it’ll never go away
Because when I go it won’t be peaceful, or sooth over time
It will be endless
My agony will be endless
While I am not.
