down: down

everyday the vale grows darker
everyday more earth falls down
d
  o
    w
      n
into the whole of my life.

everyday the fog grows thicker
making the light so scarce
so pale

soon all i will know is darkness
d
  o
    w
      n
in my hole of a life

every time the light fades
i know that
someone
any one
will save me  
for I have a hard time saving myself...
I can crawl, claw and climb
but i only go
d
  o
    w
      n
deeper and deeper

it's quiet and dark here now.
and comforting
