Slowly Slipping

Slowly slipping
Hear the seams ripping
Reality fading
Feel the blood dripping

Darkness seeping
Unconsciousness creeping
Loss of feeling
Heartbeat leaping

Yearning to be free
Straining to see
Losing sight
Dying to be

Hear the ringing
Dark chanting and singing
Pulling you under
A pendulum swinging

Senses are numbing
You are succumbing
Can’t figure out
What you’re becoming

Blinding light
A sudden fright
Realizing at once
You’re not alright

Endless screeching
Helplessly beseeching
No one comes to aid
Yet you keep reaching

Trying to get out
You give one more shout
Finally giving up
Dead no doubt
