Fallen

I've fallen, fallen really hard.

Landing in an unknown world,

Not by my own doing,

I look around my surroundings,

And see emptiness in a beautiful fog.

Why am I here again in this unknown world?

What will I do now?

I don't want to stay a second longer, but I'm lost.

I come here often and still I'm disorientated.

I kneel and bring myself small, smaller.

As I pull myself in tighter I start to feel safe,

The fog starts to envelope and caress me.

I shiver from the cold and smaller I go,

It sings sweet melodies in my ear of sleep,

That I am safe here and exhausted,

I close my eyes and am about to give in.

But why is there a ringing in my ear?

Why won't it leave me alone?

Doesn't it know I'm trying to rest?

I think I want it to stop so that I can sleep,

I open my mouth to tell it so.

Why can't I just speak up?

And why did I want to speak up?

I'm forgetting again, just like before,

But I find that it is ok to do so.

The ringing stops and starts much louder,

It's annoying and won't let me sleep,

I feel a touch and the fog starts to tighten,

I open my eyes and look at something so amazing.

Never before seen here.

And it brings warmth only for me.

The ringing is coming from it, but at this point I don't care,

I'm in love with it already and I want to say so out loud.

But again my voice; it's gone.

I'm afraid I'm losing what's mine, as the fog starts to pull.

I'm paralyzed in my small form so I can't hold on.

And a part of me doesn't want to bring it down with me.

I want it safe, protected, loved.

It deserves better.

But the warmth won't let me go,

Instead it starts to encase me in itself,

It whispers that it knows, it loves as much and more,

Promises being made as it does.

The fog quits, the warmth wins.

I have fallen, fallen hard, but this time I want to stay.

This time I won't forget.

This time I'm not afraid.
