I can’t catch you from falling
Getting fried like French fries in burning oils
Oils that sear your skin with
Every pain
Every hurt
Every sorrow
Clinging to you and your soul as you fight to release
Your being
You try to change your mind
Life
Views
World
Looking forward to the E.N.D.
The end that will release you
Closing
Closing you off from the drop
But yet you fall down
Down into the deep abyss that is your mind
You ask me questions irrelevant to your time
But yet relevant to the time
You cry for my help and fall into the floor like quicksand
That hardens to concrete and you can’t move
And freeze in your place
Your world once so small so small
Is now so large around you
But it’s too late your feet are stuck
Stuck in the ground and now you
Cannot move
All the bad rushes back
Flashing in front of you me
Biting like fierce piranhas
Grasping my skin
Your legs are weak held up
By only your backbone
Yet you will to fall
To fall and not return
I wonder how you stand
The times you are beaten and battered most
Crumble to your needs because your wants
Are nothing
Now the time and your time are the same
Standing and moving through my mind
But as your body stays
Unmoving
You tug at the will to fall
Move
Anything
But your body stays
Unmoving
The walls are closing in
The air suffocating me making me gasp
Finding refuge in the neutral space
Contemplating the decisions you’ve made
Eyes sparkling with outlines of tears
Hold on
Decisions you can’t change
Open your eyes and see the miracles around you
I can’t catch you from falling
Getting fried like French fries in burning oils
Oils that sear your skin with
Every pain
Every hurt
Every sorrow
Clinging to you and your soul as you fight to release
Your being
You try to change your mind
