The Ground

falling
spiraling
tumbling
approaching ground
watch it all
gawk at the sight
who will catch her
who notices her cries
don't tell me lies
don't say those words
why do you care
she could die
and you probably wouldn't notice
her world falls apart
each moment silent agony
why do you pretend
please end her misery
the moments drag on
the ground grows closer
she just doesn't see
