As I fall deeper and deeper
into this universe of memories,
I feel myself losing control
as I lay down, hoping to rest.
But as I lay down, something's wrong,
the memories of my final days
are striking back, taking away
the glowing soul inside of me.
I feel the comets, the stars,
everything, pulling at my insides
and I can barely move
as I feel my soul being ripped out.
I fight, I plead, please stop,
I need this, I need myself,
without my soul, my body,
is just blood and skin.
I need those memories,
I need those emotions,
Please, I beg of you,
spare my soul.
The struggle in intense
and full of deep, searing pain,
but I know it's necessary,
as I give it my all.
I struggle for what seems like eternity
and finally, as I'm about to give up hope,
the pain stops, the pulling stops,
and all settles back inside,
With no warning, with no explanation

Fantastic!
This is one mega read! Well penned with superb graphics and flow and rhyme to boot!
I looked for lines which I liked the most of all but like all of them!
Powerful emotions in what you graphically pen as a resistence topassing over into spirit, which is fabulous and so realistic too, most people e xperience these emotions when they go over unless what they are leaving behind is severe pain and loneliness etc.
Great work, write on!
Best of luck in my contest and thanks millions for entering your entry is brilliant.
Poetic Hugs & Thanks
Kaz.
