Reaching

Falling
Grasping at the wind
Not even thinking
I want to be saved

Drowning
Sinking into despair
Not even caring
How deep I go

Burning
Searing my soul in fire
Not even wanting
To fight anymore

Crashing
Slamming into a wall
Not even believing
It matters at all

Breaking 
Shattering my being
Not even worrying
Where the pieces fall

Suffocating
Breathing less each breath
Not even straining
To gasp the air

Stabbing
Spearing my heart
Not even seeing
The blood on the ground

Gripping
Reaching for your hand
Not even knowing
If I can hold on
