I’m at the end of my rope
Looking at its tattered threads
Hoping it’ll grow suddenly

I want to throw it across
The void that just grew
Blocking my path
But it’s still the same

There’s no such thing
As climbing my way back
Up a rope that burns from tip to tip

My time’s almost up
I’ve never finished the quest
I can’t blame the rope
For never getting the hint

I’ve got an inch left
And I throw it over the edge
Look down and fall into nothing

Are you expecting to hit bottom?
It’s stated in the books of the end
The endless void
Swallows the dreams of me

I’m going down slowly
Jolting from time to time
And I can only think back

I wasted my rope so much
Abused it and never cared
Even when I fell to my knees
I expected so much from something so little

Serves me right
I didn’t hold on tight enough
And here I am, Fallen

I kinda like the last line, "And here I am, Fallen", especially the fallen part is what i like, makes me think of my own story ^^

2B or not 2B... well no 2B just HB =P
I don't think it would have been right if it had only been "fallen." So plain and boring. Thanks!

i like the personification of the rope...makes me feel like there's something i should feel guilty about but can't quite put my finger on... :]
