Fade, Focus

Pound

Pound

Pound

A pounding
Deep in my head
Beating my brain
Steadily, it treads

I can't focus
It's drumming too loud
Inviting a grieving pain
Hanging as a cloud

Deeper

Louder

Harder

Becoming more distinct
As pace quickens
Head bobs back and forth
Vision lessens

Eyes fluttering
The pounding continues
Fall back suddenly
Become more confused

A blur

Haze

Fog

Teetering on the edge
Fade
Focus

Fade

Until I fade
No longer on the edge
I've fallen gracefully
Off lives ledge
