Don't ask what the meaning of life is. You define it.

The pen drops.
Plop.
Like a water drop.
Spot

Marked forever.
Where I lay
Lied
For the last time.

Promises
Make
No
Sense

If not kept.
I fell
In the fall,
Catch me?

Hold me tight
Tighten your grip
I slip
You watch.

Sit there
In the ink
Stain
Stained for life

For ever.
For you.
Memory error erased
Raced for life. Lost.

Do you
Ever
Act like
Death? It is you.

I fell
In the fall,
Catch me?
Too slow

Motion.
