Written for the Freeverse Prompts Challenge on the HPFC for the prompt "Falling". I hope you'll like it.

Please review.


It's dark

(oh so dark !)

But soft

(something forgotten)

I'm falling, falling

Through It

(And I shouldn't be)

It's easy (hard)

It feels good (tearing me apart)

Surprising (terrifying)

Time disappearing

For an hour-long second

It is a (harsh and cold)

A life taken (stolen)

Too soon.
