The decision that trips you ever so slightly
The catch of a cloud that begins a gradual descent

The tastes and smells of sweetness,
The bitterness on your tongue and the stench that fills your nose
The sounds of music that take you beyond
The screams of terror that echo in the night
The warm feelings of soft skin
The piercing pains through every nerve
The endless beauty of the world
The sights you wish you could unsee

The best of friends with the most distant of strangers
The truest of love with the ghosts of imagination
The warmth of pure ecstasy and bliss
The cold of despair and hatred
The feelings of every imaginable kind

The cold, hard bottom of the darkest of pits
The helplessness that overwhelms
When you realize you've been falling
