Imprecise Words

this one is weird lmao

And just like that, I'm falling. You were always lost in the world, but at the very least you had some footing. You couldn't read between the lines, couldn't recognize the lines on the road, no handlebars to keep you. You hit a pothole, and now you're falling. A sense of safety is no sense, but a feeling, a concept of protection. 

No sun. No moon. No light. No warmth to be found here. Chilled metal under your soles, clinging like a warning, as if the floor itself was telling you to go no further. Terribly ignorant. You refuse to read the writing on the wall. You walk further into the darkness, to find ___. It doesn't matter what it is, you want to find something. Hunger doesn't gnaw at your stomach. Your legs aren't sore. Your throat isn't dry. Why can't you just be satisfied with what you have? I told you to simmer down, you just won't listen.

And just like that, you're falling. It doesn't matter when you fell or if you've already hit the ground. It's a mistake that you can never recover from. I'd throw you a rope if I had one. And this wouldn't have happened if you had just listened to me when I told you that the world hates people like us. You saw nothing, but you had everything. We had everything. 

You hit hard steel, but you don't bleed. You don't sting. That cold metal clings to your skin once again like it loves you. But now we're apart, and I'm scared to fall, and you can't climb back up. Not everything can be a fable, no story can be read about people like you and me. Words fail to capture the reality of this story. You don't remember it. Neither do I.

Hard to describe real life. You described a deadly accident.
