Will there every be a time
when the tears cease?
When this overwhemling sadness
choses to leave
will I still be here?
I feel lost within
and lost without
as though I spiral ever downwards
without a safety net to catch me.
Free falling
into oblivion
away from this pain
away from everything.
Will there ever come a time
when the tears stop?
