Have you ever fallen...?
I think I have. I remember when I had fallen head-first from a great height into what I thought would be a happy end. I remember hitting the ground hard but I didn't feel the blow of the impact. The asphalt seemed to melt around my head, warmth spreading deep behind my eyebrows. When I turned around I saw the sky. There were a million stars now, some clustered and some left outcasts like me. Yellow and white, and blotchy with red, until red was all I could see. My sleeves were stained red from all the times I told a truth and was disbelieved. My mouth dripped red from all the lies I told to comfort my pain. I felt like a phenomenon, still in the process, still breathing, still waiting for an end. The end came like harbringer of spring, ushering solace. My sinuses snapped, my breath hitched. My face prickled from dried tears for the very last time. For the last time, my mind thought and my heart loved. Anubis walked me to the gates. And then, like time, I was gone, never to be found again. Irony, that I'm a living paradox, or should I say dead paradox..? For dear, I fell and transcended in love.
