Grasping the Air

Nothing left there
You may only grasp the air
Your personal Satan is near
May he have you cowered in fear
Miserable and pointlessness so close
Sucking the life from life itself
You aren't holding on anymore
Falling out into the fire red door
When the light in your eyes has faded
And your life has forever been shaded
You can't bear to think of where you may perish
Nor the fact that you're hurting the one's whom you cherish
Close your eyes with all your might
Say good-bye to the world's sunlight
Let the numbness overcome your brain
Embrace all of the sickening pain
Your emotions are nude and raw
And forever you shall fall
You may only grasp air
There is nothing left there...

When love is gone the world is over ... I can feel the sentiments behind each line. Good write and one love
