Steps Towards Black
Every step you take
 Away from me,
 Puts more cracks 
 In my heart.
 Some had already been there,
 Already made themselves at home.
 Insecurity.
 Jealousy.
 Depression.
 Every step you take,
 Makes me sink
 Deeper.
 I’m too deep
 To save.
 You can try 
 All you want.
 It’s too late.
 You had your chance.
 As I sink deeper,
 Deeper
 Into my own
 Deathtrap,
 I think…
 Why aren’t I
 Getting up?
 I should have
 Recovered by now.
 The answer came to me
 Moments later.
 I loved you.
 Truly.
 Deeply.
 Loved you.
 Not as some 
 Summer fling
 Or eye candy.
 As true love.
 As love at first sight.
 As I sink
 Deeper,
 All my senses
 Start to dull.
 Sounds disappear…
 Tastes cease 
 To exist…
 Smells are gone…
 Slowly,
 My sight fades…
 Black.
