I’m falling

Again

The ground isn’t ground

And my breath is a sin

The mirror’s cracked

My hands are stained

The walls are closing

But I can’t explain

There’s a door, I see it

Flickering, pale

A promise of quiet

Beyond the veil

I run

My feet bleed

I scream

I plead

Fingertips

They brush the handle’s edge

I swear I’m close

A whispered pledge

Then darkness folds

Wraps his hands around me

Pushes me through

Takes me back to what I don’t want to see

I’m falling

Again

The ground isn’t ground

And my breath is a sin

The mirror’s cracked

My hands are stained

The walls are closing

But I can’t explain

There’s a door, I see it

Flickering, pale

See the old me

But I know, again, I’ll fail

I’ve been here before

But I can’t explain

I am overcome

With guilt and pain

Save my soul

Give back my heart

I need to live

Not for you to grow apart

Don’t restart this game

I know your tricks

But they won’t work this time

This is an easy fix
