Fall From Grace
My room never seemed darker
I sever useless ties
If I ever am redeemed
I promise to silence wasted cries
Feel ensnared with no control
Unable to move, gasp for air
Swaying carelessly on the narrow edge
Of letting go, and going there
This continuing brutal journey
Has reached its compassless end
Wind is finally dying down
The choice mine to break or mend
The breeze is swirling, still
Start to wheeze, my lungs let go
Freeze time for a moment but
It thaws, melts like April snow
Lose my sense of taste, my lips
Numb as I fall out of grace
I tumble down, the coldness spreads
Into my body and face
The sky is far above me
I don't dare to take a peek
Not much point if I already know
I will not find what I seek
