PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I fell from grace so long ago,
I've just kept falling,
there is no ground below me.

All I want is to be caught,
for the safety net not to break from under me.

So many have loved me,
they failed to save me.

I continue to fall into nothingness,
when will it end?

When will I feel firm support,
the strength I crave to hold me up,
to be the thing that sustains me.

If I push you away, I'm sorry,
I don't mean it, don't leave me too.

Don't leave me to my lonely mind,
the dark thoughts that ravage me.

I've stood on the edge too long,
wanting it all to end.

If I threw myself over,
would you catch me?

Would you be the one to save me?

Been abandoned by those I loved,
hurt by those closest to me.

They swore they would never hurt me,
but they lied.

"I'll never hurt you,"
gilded lies from smooth tongues.

So many have said those words,
but they mean nothing to me anymore,
nothing but false hopes and broken promises.

Tell me this is different,
assure me that this is real.

I slip and fall, lose my grip on reality,
will you be there?

Will you catch me when I fall?
