coming down

coming down

A Poem by Michael Turnbull

i can't go on like this

why didn't you stop me

you know i give in easily

especially with my addictions

 

it started wih one, then another

completly enraptured

i couldn't feel the rope tighten

or see the height from which i stood

 

with my neck bent back watching

distant celestial bodies

that falling star burning earth-bound

i felt the gravity pull at my feet

 

elated bliss faded from me

selfish hatred returned

broken by my indulgence

this has to be the end of it

 

goodbye...
