Downward Spiral

Chasing You

By Raven McCoyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

You fill me with euphoria

Lift me high until I touch the stars

I feel invincible in this moment and I am happy

I'll want you forever

I fall back to earth

I hit the ground hard

I want you again

I try to take you and hold you in

Feel you more deeply this time

Fill myself up

...but this time I don't reach the stars

I land among the trees, scraping myself on the way down

I hit the ground hard

I want you one more time

...but this time I don't leave the ground at all

I lay there shaking, yearning for something that I will always chase but can never catch

You are my downfall and I belong to you
