A Long Fall

Jan 15, 2004 17:34

There’s a light at the end of
The tunnel I’ve dug myself
I’m tempted to explore
Adventure
I look behind me to the path
I used to walk along
But its blocked, boarded up
I can’t go back now

I remember the words you said
But I forget your name and your face
Or maybe I don’t want to
Remember
So I’ve already forgotten
My mind is dark and
Memories are crossed out like
The poem I tried to write

I walk toward the brightness
Curious, cautious, hardly conspicuous
I draw closer and it
Blinds me
My hands, shaking, search for the cold wall
But I trip and fall
Fall down into the misery and darkness
Of the tunnel I’ve dug myself

And like Alice, I
Tumble
Fall
Topple
Plummet
Drop
Plunge
Into eternity

--by me

I think I shall use this one for my english poetry project.
