Seven Days Of Falling

Headphones LED, blinking blue
Reflecting on the screen
Like a life support system
Telling me that I am still alive
Motionless, the green round chat symbol
Online. No 1 or 2 or 3
Nothing
I look, hope still there, though I know it never will be
No Hi, no smiley, no whisper of life
The other life, forever dead

Like me
Empty
Killed
Down
Even though I smile
Head, soul, winter iced
Tired, but not wanting to sleep
Another wanting, deep down, deep deep down
The love that is, the love that was
Sad, grey, dark mist, swirling below

Another time, our bodies, lay, touched, lived
As though captured, in a time capsule
Of timeless beauty, shut away, from half believes, precious
Delicate, priceless
Our bodies knew, we knew
The wonder, another happening
The 25th, a present, from friends near
And now locked away
From commerce rationalised
Collateral damage

The bowed bass of “Seven Days Of Falling”, drohning
Mirroring my heart, being slowly, ripped, apart
Seven days of falling
The quiet hi-hat softly pounding
As though it will never end, the
Seven days of falling
The bass, constantly remembering
Our hearts, still bonded
Seven days of falling

Seven days its been
When the knife was drawn
Seven days
Seven days of sadness
Seven days of falling
Seven days of tearing
Seven days it snowed
Seven days I know
Seven days I have been falling
