Going Down

Falling,

Falling,

Down into the deep.

Sinking,

Sinking,

Sinking to sleep

Trying,

Trying,

Trying to not weep,

But it happens anyways.

Faster,

Faster,

Faster I go.

Feeling the darkness creep.

It is not a gradual fall.

The descent is quite steep,

and the light is but a dim glow.

"Help,

Help,

Help"

I think.

Calling out to anyone.

Quicker and quicker over the brink,

losing sight of the sun.

Out of reach of hope.

Further,

Further,

And further down

Over the edge I went.

Colors fade, and sounds drown,

And no help was sent,

As I fall further into the abyss

From which I can't escape.

Darker,

Darker,

And darker still,

The light is all but gone. 

Colder and colder becomes the chill.

The abyss has almost won.

Help will never come.

As I reach the bottom, the chill has left.

All my thoughts have been bereft.

I see the light once more...

But it seems different from before,

and it beckons me over to its side.

I feel it is written with muscical score. Beautiful lines. Wants to hear with music. Good work 👍
