Before She Fell
April 22, 2014
A rush of wind,
a silent call.
Standing, waiting,
about to fall.
Waiting, hoping,
by some lucky chance,
That someone will notice,
rescue her from this death dance.
Dreaming, remembering,
a different world.
The happiest moments,
before the colors muddled and swirled.
One last breath,
she's too far gone.
Alone to weep,
to break her earthly bond.
It's all too quick,
this descent to hell.
Could've been prevented,
except
Nobody caught her
before she fell.

This is very meanignful and just amazing :) I love the way you say that she wants to be caught, and then go on towards the end to say that it was too late, because no one tried to catch her. A beautiful piece in my opinion :) Keep writing my friend, I want to read some more of your work! CX
