The lifting lightly ends now,
Swirling Down
It seems so endless somehow.
I know the bottom is there,
Swirling Down
I’ll crash so hard without care,
Careless falling dark descent
Swirling Down
Reflecting on all misspent.

She cries with sad brown-eyed tears,
Lost within her fears,
Lost in years,
Sobs alone,
With soft wailing tone,
Lock herself within her home.

Moments of gladness degrade,
Swirling Down
Left choices that must be made,
So became solitary
Swirling Down
Darkness became less scary,
With endless days of the same
Swirling Down
Fears of falling became tame.
