Falling Skies

By FearlessDragon

Perched upon a fragile ledge

Breaking from within

Inching forward to demise

Hoping the falling skies

Will catch me

I don't deserve this...

I empty myself into the night

Never to see these beasts again

The whirring wind

Cutting through me

And

Splashing brains upon the concrete

The last things that I hear.

Hopefully, the shock would do you in first... Never fancied dying this way... You'd have no choice but to watch as you fall to the grace of gravity, nice sorrow filled piece thanks.

Sometimes it truly fells like the only way to kill the beasts within is by killing the vessel they reside in. Poetically written, til the last 2 lines, was that on purpose? - XXOO

Yeah, I wanted to weave the poetic side with the bluntness of the last line to bring it all into harsh reality.

So sad, talking us through those last seconds. Beautiful words with a messy thud of reality at the end. X
