Your Fall

by Broke&Lost   Jul 12, 2007


I see the pain in your eyes
threatening to swallow you whole
Can see through all your lies
to the very heart of your soul

Sickness there discoloring your skin
turning your mind inside out
Eating you alive again and again
to think I never even heard you shout

A feeble attempt at sanity
is all but a failed mission
Changed by the voices claiming to be
the path to clearer vision

As I watch like a caged animal
sickened by this sight before me
I realize your appetite is full
but how I cannot pretend to see

You are drifting further away
feeding day after day on your pain
But never once do I hear you say
by all of this what you have to gain

Try as I might though
my voice is all but silent
Standing on the edge you go to show
the promise of death is more than a glint

As you take the plunge head first
into that imagined promise land
My pain, anguish, and hatred come in a burst
but for you and relief I fully understand

    "You are drifting further away
    feeding day after day on your pain
    But never once do I hear you say
    by all of this what you have to gain"

    This is so sad and heartbreaking, but you portrayed the emotions perfectly.

    "Try as I might though
    my voice is all but silent
    Standing on the edge you go to show
    the promise of death is more than a glint"

    Entrancing words, this really is interesting.

    "As you take the plunge head first
    into that imagined promise land
    My pain, anguish, and hatred come in a burst
    but for you and relief I fully understand"
