From the crest of a wave

falling

falling

as hard and as dark as hell.

Everything is above me

swirling out of control.

My screams echo silently,

nobody is there,

no one will take me away.

It consumes me

taking away everything that is mine.

Taking the lot

leaving behind splinters of pain.

And still, after so long I am struggling

and fighting and stumbling,

grappling with all that is me.

Even the highs are tainted

baiting me, not letting up.

Can I say I have lost control

Did I have it to begin with.

My life is a lie, a dirty cavernous secret.

The monster that lurks within

took away everything.

Before I had realised - it was all gone.
