Swell

written in 2010

Reinforced footsteps
crush your elation.
They press down deep
in the most hidden
emotions of your core.
You're convinced that
all hope has vanished.
It slowly takes you down.
Underneath the Earth.
You couldn't possibly
live through this.
When the last silver tear
falls from your being
& into your essence,
you know that you
can never turn back.
It takes a minute
to let all the failure sink.
Then after minutes of contemplating,
you are finally gone.

"You're convinced that
all hope has vanished.
It slowly takes you down.
Underneath the Earth.
You couldn't possibly
live through this.
When the last silver tear
falls from your being
& into your essence,"
I guess I'm the first to review this wonderful poem...Those are my faves...:)
