Falling

Trickling down, my soul passed. Like a raging beast, declining fast. Decreasing power, this empty core. Descending desire; lust nevermore. Draining ambition, mislaid beyond. Seeping distrust, this violent bond. Cradling youth; as yesterday’s past. Spiraling downward; falling so fast. Sketching our love; tracing our ties. Shackled in pain; festering in lies. Plunging below, coming up for air, Sinking in stench; suddenly aware. Plummeting quickly; hearts untwine. A failing romance; yours and mine. Dropping below the depth of mind, Tumbling hastily – hatred we find. Reducing strength; ambition dives. Fondling the ideal, our lives will thrive. Exhausting demands; love we’ve cast. Hitting rock bottom; lost within the past.
