the rabbit hole
By: Radhika Shah
and now im scared
for the memories get fuzzy and blurry
and my life slowly fades away
im getting older and older
while my memory is getting weaker and weaker
echoes of how life was
before the fateful twist
threw us all into a rabbit hole
i always worry about the stars exploding
being sucked inside a black hole
but now all i fear is loss
the pictures swirl around
and i try to map how it was
but it soon turns into a labyrinth
whered all the time go
it feels like it was ages ago
but it hasnt even been a mere decade
or maybe it has
and the gears inside my brain need fixing
but even a broken clock is right at least twice a day
sleepless nights turn into fretful thoughts
and theyre all about you
the peace i never made
the very place where a piece of my soul resides
but now its split into two
one in the old and one in the new
and im
falling
down down
the down
rabbit down
h

e
or was it a downward spiral
