Stay In Touch

I'm slipping 
Falling
Forever calling
For help
Watch me as I soar
Deeper and deeper
Into the earth
As it swallows me 
Tighter 
I reach up up up
But all I grab is air
Nothing is there 
Why is nothing there
Don't you see 
Can't you see
Falling and calling
I choke on the words
The words are trapped
As am I
Save me please
Please reach for me
Stretch further you can do it
I'm trying
I'm dying
I'm crying
For you and you and you
No one is there 
I am alone

Fascinating. This can be interpreted in so many ways. Normal every day life. Sports. Lost in a dream..... Cool. Very Cool. Your imagination set free. On the other hand a sense of drowning. Terrifying horrifying heart pounding with fear. Fascinating.

such sad lines Alexandria, I think many can relate to these feelings of loneliness especially after a relationship has broken down. It has a lyrical feel to it - great work:-) hugs jan xx
