No Return

It was not a dream
Moments before waking she heard herself weep
When she woke up, touched her cheek
With lump in her throat she felt her pillow
Damp with weeping sleep
Her being floating to the depth of despair
Feeling herself letting go 
The light a flicker of her past
Her body limp, slipping fast
As she head dived
Her core consumes, embracing the darkness
Feathers from her black wings
Floating above
As she free fall
Spiralling to the depth of nowhere
Into the abyss of her deep dark despair
Trapped within herself
