Falldown

Falldown

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

When i broke into tears, i wrote this in my head.

"
Don't ask if i'm sad
Don't ask me why i'm crying

Please don't ask me why I walk into here looking like I'm dying
Just know i'm not lying, when I told you I am trying.

But there's a reason, why I've been this quiet for years
Out of the ordinary, Hell, I even wrote this song with my tears.

The depression became to much to steer, I became out of control
I know that you said your here, but I feel i'm fighting this battle alone.

But similar to all my friends, you know i have emotions
My happiness is a small sea, but the depression is an ocean.

All the people know is what they see on my outside
True pain is only heard when you take the time to hear the inside cry,

I'm sure by today's standards, I'm just going through a stage
But i didn't know a stage could last from the time you was age 8

Yeah, I'm sure you know how it feels to lose someone you love
I find myself sitting at his grave, screaming above.

And Don't think I remember what we had, Yeah our song.
I almost break into tears and yelp every time it comes on.

People say I need help, Like i don't know it already
Needing help with this one bullet I need to put through my he-

Wait i made a promise not to do it, And i made it to you
How could i forget that? It's pathetic, it's true.

Dear old friend, If you're looking down at me from heaven
Just want to say i'm sorry for the sins that I have set and will be setting.

Looks i won't be able to ever meet you when i'm gone after all
Maybe on my way down, I can scream for you, listen for my call.

And if you call back for me, I'll fight Satan if i have to
He will make another hell for me, I just want to hug you.

Cause I loved you.

I like the structure a lot, adds more impact...such an intense piece...as a song, would work great...hold on the bullet though - life has a habit of showing new sunsets when rock bottom, enjoyed xo

Amazing how you create the perfect rhymes while perfectly expressing the emotions; with a perfect chain of thoughts, and into a perfect conclusion.. Its just great.

Hey Doug. This once is quite intense and dark. I like the lyrical and musical value of your words. Your writing is brilliant and we need to see more of your work. So keep postponing the bullet part :)

I'm struggling to type.

Got me in tears. I guess I'm letting all the grief out.

Lost several friends. All whom I would've dedicated this to if I wrote this.

Loved this. So much.

Filled my stomach and heart with sorrow, and filled my head with precious memories.

Thank you.
