Once Again

Once again,

I have fallen down

the stairs to an endless abyss

as my body fills with dread

and unexpected melancholy.


Once again,

I have given my trust

to someone wholeheartedly,

only to find out

they had never truly valued me.


Once again,

I've been blinded by love:

a feeling I have never truly grasped;

for I was too scared to go near,

too scared to have asked.


And now, once again,

I have found myself writing:

thoughts in ink on paper

as my tears shed uncontrollably—


the blood rushing to my head

as every moment passes

desperately wanting things to end—

desperately wanting to be dead.


Once again,

I have fallen,

but alas—

I will rise again.
