descent

i’m falling and the net is gone
there’s no cushion below me
i’m tumbling through the air
with no rescue I can see

i can’t control my plunge
it’s empty all around
with not a soul in sight
to see me hit the ground

i hit, oh how i hit
with a force that shakes my jaw
and as i lay dying i wonder how
i could have prevented my fall

but it’s no use now
at the end of my descent
it’s over, it’s complete for me
all my time is spent.
