I Sink

Death comes to me
As the last breath departs from me
Choked out and beaten
Ignored and abandoned
I sink.

The abyss consumes me
darker still deeper till there's nothing left of me
Only pain and anger live on
consuming my tender heart
I sink.

How can this be
All that once was, is swallowed into history
A figment maybe or possibly a mere delusion
Snap shots fade as time consumes all hints of what used to be.
I sink.

My mind wanders, runs, and panics trying to find anything familiar
Grasping for a hint of reality, screaming and trashing around
While the world watches as if all is well.
No one with a clue of the torment rushing through my lifeless body
I sink.

Faith fails me,
Friends, foes, and lovers leave only tears in my heart
Pain grows deeper as grief etches despair on my face
Defeated and despondent, downhearted and dejected
I sink
