Friends and Angels

Falling down
I cant stop
there are no branches
none to grasp and break my fall

there are no cushions at the bottom
no soft landing to ease the pain
is there even a bottom?
or will i fall forever?

did anybody see me jump?
if they did, why didn't they say something?
did they care?
will anybody care when i don't return?

i continue to fall
the sides are smooth
free of ledges
nothing to grasp

i see his face
clouded by tears
it's gentle, soft
but sad at the same time

is it because i left?
because i didn't tell him my intentions?
is it because he needs me?
or is it my imagination?

a hand grasps mine
then another and another
i stopped falling
i was being pulled up

i looked to see who they were
friends gathered to help me
angels they were, there to save me
wings glowed bright and halos sparkled

darkness surrounded us
i felt numb and still
my eyes came open
my room comforted my fears

was it all just a dream?
no, it was real
angels gathered, my friends
it was real
i was falling, but they brought me back
thank you my friends
