Breakdown

I'm slipping, but I don't want to go back...

Slowly he creeps towards me

I can feel him coming

I turn my back and run away

Trying to escape

His arm reaches out for me

I shake it off

 

I push myself

Run further, faster

He stalks me

A crazed killer on the loose

He grabs my foot

I stumble, fall

 

I open my mouth

No sound escapes

I claw the ground

He pulls me closer

He grabs my neck

I shake him off

 

Slowly I crawl away

He watches me

A hawk eyeing its tortured prey

The tears steady flow down my face

I gasp for air

He catches up to me

 

Finally I give in

This is the end

I let him pick me up

Hold me

Cradle me

Limp in the arms

 

Of my breakdown

Wow I like this.
The title caught my eye, and then when i began reading i became more and more curious. The ending tied it all together with one of those amazing turnarounds that leave the reader speechless.
Love love love this!(:

Whoaaa. I was wondering how this one would turn out, and that's gotta be one of the best endings to a poem I've read in a while. Great job :)
