RapidsA Poem by AJ Bell
I am standing here on the ledge
Watching the rocks slowly crumble beneath my feet I’ve never felt as alone as I do right now I am isolated, trapped in my own hell Oh what a pathetic site I must be You’ve done this to yourself, you know It’s your fault and you must pay And pay I will Let’s take it back a bit Maybe then you’ll understand I’ve done this to myself This was done by my own hand Something calming has been taken, and now the river runs rapid I have no choice, no voice, no sound set of mind I am alone in the madness that has been building for some time My heart aches so deep that I can feel it clawing through my skin I guess it will do anything to get out of this prison that it’s in Farewell dear heart of mine You were faithful till the end But love has fallen and failed us And I don’t think that it will mend This time the cuts too deep Neither thread, nor twine can mend this hole So I bid you adieu… Farewell my dear loveless soul I don’t think I can go back There’s no other way out but down I’ll take one final breath and then just wait to drown My foot is over the ledge One more step and then it’s done I have no other option No sorrowful song left unsung I am at “piece” now I can’t be hurt anymore I hope no one ever finds me I hope my body never washes ashore Trapped in the bottom of this river, until the end of time For once, you don’t get a say This time the choice was mine © 2016 AJ Bell |
