The Long Drop

Feel the taps on the ground

Her steps cut sharp, a brutal sound

Edges grind, nothing to hold

A weight drags me through cold

Pulse spikes, heart in chains

World tilts, nothing remains

Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear

No stage, no grip — I disappear

I’m falling, the floor lets go

Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow

The long drop puts me under

No time to scream, a hidden thunder

Her voice haunts the corners of my mind

Frames of us I can’t rewind

Fingers trace the scars I hide

Memories claw, won’t subside

Pulse spikes, heart in chains

World tilts, nothing remains

Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear

No ground, no grip — I disappear

I’m falling, the floor lets go

Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow

The long drop puts me under

No time to scream, a hidden thunder

I push, I shove, I fight it back

Dark thoughts attack, the reign cracks

Grip the air, it slips away

I wrestle darkness into day

Pulse spikes, heart in chains

World tilts, nothing remains

Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear

No ground, no grip — I disappear

I’m falling, the floor lets go

Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow

The long drop puts me under

No time to scream, a hidden thunder

Breath slows, the limits blur

A quiet war begins to stir

Every heartbeat drags me near

The long drop lingers here

I’m falling, the floor lets go

Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow

The long drop puts me under

No time to scream, a hidden thunder

Breth slows, the limits blur

A quiet war begins to stir

Every heartbeat drags me near

The long drop lingers here
