Falling Reality

I'm losing my sense of time, 
And I can't feel my nerves.
Trying to hold on for dear life,
Until a nightmare returns. 

I can't feel my limbs, 
And I simply fall overboard. 
I try my best to grasp reality,
But it's only a thin cord. 

If I slip up in reality,
It's doubled in my mind. 
As I fall beyond the edge,
I leave my reality behind.

My relationship with others,
It's simply disappearing. 
Holding onto a vanishing face,
This is what I'm fearing.

I'm pushed to my limits, 
And someone is there as well. 
Hands touch my back as I try,
Remembering everything as I fell.

I'm unstable, and I can't take it anymore, 
Tripping over my feet and falling from above. 
I'm losing my grip on my life as I fall, 
I'm afraid, for I'm also losing my love. 

Dreams turn to nightmares, 
But I can't figure them out.
