the Downfall by Michele SchottelkorbWhirling swirling twirling
My head is on a dizzy merry-go-round
Gasping for air, i turn
And spin around and around
Clutching to the foothold
i pull myself to my feet
But i sense that it is too late
And the "baby" crashes to the street
Bursting out into tiny slivers of gold
the capsule decapitates
My "dreams" shatter
As my brain lacerates
And the rush that once
had been such fun
Suddenly vanishes
in a puddle of blood and run
And as i lay here~
Knowing tomorrow won't ever call~
i suddenly reminisce what bechanced~
the Downfall
