I'm Falling

I'm falling,

Screaming and calling

Reaching and stalling

Wait, this isn't it

Straight ahead, isn't it?

I over think a lot

And I worry way too much

I'm in a hurry to find a crutch,

Something to help me through this

Help me do this

The only thing that I need

Myself, I will feed

My lovely by my side,

But only for security

She's there to help me see

I'm here to help be free

Creeping back in

Seeping back in

Through the cracking

Black,

Cracked

My heart turn to stacks of ash

Soul withering light away

Light the way

It's all so hard

I've dealt this card

Now I've to deal with it

Make it real within

I'm falling,

Back into despair

Never beyond repair

My lovely is there,

And I truly do care

But my anxiety is stronger

And I can't take much longer

I can fix myself, I just need you here

Can you hear?

If you ever hear me calling

Back into the dark

I'm falling
