That yellow sign before oblivion
Looming before me
As I catapulted forward
Over the edges of safety
Into the arms of dangerous waters
Washing over me in tearfully harmony
As I surrendered to its now painless bliss

I faintly recall that yellow sign
If I can just pinpoint what it said?
My thoughts are now drained in murkiness
As comfortable as the softest mattress
******* out all the light in me
Memories pouring
Raining down torrentially
Over my now fading heartbeat

That yellow sign bathed in rusty edges
Stands alone
In the midst of colorless scenery
I see it now and clearly
As my mind slowly tumbles into blackness
That yellow sign
It read “Slow Down”
