Gone

I want to help them

       I watch as my friends,
 crash and fall,
face planted on the floor.

I might be next.

Struggling,
to keep my head above water.

Fighting,
to breathe.

Must kill the urge to follow my friends into
the deep abyss that has become their lives.

Choke,
Twitch,
Spasm,
Regret,
Fall.

Tripping into what has become known as
The Other Side.
Over the line, into insanity.

Can't save myself
Dragging people down with me.

Stop.
Breathe.
Think.
Hope.
Pull.
Recover.

I abandoned them,
saved only me.
It's too late for them.
They're already gone.

Author's Note

Song and Sage, can't be saved, cant recover, because they don't want to.

i had the same feeling before to go left or right sink down or swim up....well at the time i thought i was superman able to save everyone including myself...it was the most selfish thing i did but then again i was to late...you have no idea how much this poem affected me....

Well, I really liked this poem! The enboldening was an extra special touch I especially enjoyed, and the list of words here and there were also awesome. I don't think I can make this poem seem any better than it is. I'm rating it high.

This is good. Very good. ^^

I don't know Song or Sage, but I can see that they liked it too. Which is also good.

I don't know what to think of this or why this has anything to do with me but this is a true work of art. Make more like this!
