i am stuck.
i no longer move forward with time
or flash back to the past
when we remind ourselves
of our past memories.
i am nothing.
i've fallen down this
long
winding dark
cold
hole
that i seem to not even
mind.
i let myself fall.
deeper
and deeper and
deeper and deeper and deeper
until i know my heart has leaped
out of my body,
saving itself
and leaving the empty
shell that my body is
to only continue
falling
and falling and
falling and falling and falling.
that is when i know
i will never escape.
i fall into the emptiness
of nothing,
it caresses and lulls
me into a feeling
of simply being
nothing.
