I opened my eyes this morning to find myself already half way slipping into nothingness
I tried to reach for help, but no one was there
so I spent the day lingering in limbo with my arms extended towards the sky
Every shallow breath pushing me further
counteracting my feeble attempts at self preservation
And this is where I let my mind wander so it won't be taken down with me.
This is where I grasp at smooth branches
This is where I feel myself falling passed the clouds
This is where my heart skips ten beats before me trying to get away
She knows what’s coming…
Many are the times when I have heard the echo of my own mind bouncing off the walls of my hollow heart.
This is one of those times.
Every muscle in my body is clenched
bracing for the breakdown
But there is a lightness within me
expanding into everything and nothing all at once
I am so full of life that it begins to escape me until I am empty
Half way there
Warm light washes over me
Breaks me into pieces
Keeps me floating
I break away
