Who will save me from falling?

A poem

By Karan w. Published 6 months ago 1 min read

When my throat is slit and a small red crimson fountain begins to flow,

When my breath chokes and a deep intoxication starts to surge within

When everything begins to blur into oblivion

When my body slowly begins to rot

When I swallow the poison and something writhes inside me — and I feel pleasure

The eternal ecstasy of final moments.

When I hang myself with a rope around my neck, and my eyes slowly begin to burst

When I leap from a great height, tasting the thrill of the fall

And before my body falls someone escapes from me — vanished
And death… death will save me from the fall.

--

A/N: – Writing this was truly fun; I wrote it suddenly in less than five minutes. For me, this imagination felt completely normal 😀🤣

    Oh wow, I read this yesterday, commented, and also replied to Maryam. But my comment is now missing but my reply to Maryam is still there. I forgot what exactly I commented yesterday but I loved your poem a lot

  • This is quite an amazing poem. That you wrote it in five minutes is sensational. Your poem masterfully flows from one line to the next and each successive thought brings the reader deeper and closer to the dark cave of gruesomeness you are describing. Excellent writing, Sk.
