Too Deep

For over 8 years
you have been
digging yourself
a hole.
8 years
is a long time...
and over time
it just got

Too deep for you
to crawl out of.
If I were you
I would be

for those few friends
you have left
to pull you out...
because soon
the few you have left
will leave you too
and wonder why
they even took
the time to
throw you a rope.

    I like the way you dig your words
    deeper, reaching, ... for escape
    rock bottom drowns you out
    are you digging for fire?
    Surf little waves big... Charge big waves hard

    I also like the way you dropped the words down the page to look like the rope. :)

    It's interesting that you put this up today because I was thinking about someone being in a pit just yesterday...
