Shifts

The ground opened,
And it swallowed me whole.
Into the darkness,
I fall, awaiting the end
Where a deep splatter keeps
Dreams in check.
Reality hurts, and I'm to feel it
Falling between the light
And the darkness of the ceiling.
Faster and faster, the crevice narrows
Into a pipe dream I once knew
As cruel reality that creeps up
Like the end of my fall,
As the floor opens to swallow me
Near the end of the decent.
