Limbo often feels like this

My life has fallen down
around me before
lots of times
for lots of reasons....
usually other people.

and most of the time
I was fortunate enough
to have a large lump of
that life hit me on the
head and render me numb
to the pain & desolation
that followed.
and I survived.
and I lived to love again.

but this,
this slow erosion from below
... or within ...
it's me falling down around my life
because you're still in that life
... but not really.
and you're out to that life
... but not quite
