poetry project #10: easily forgettable

once i walked too close to the edge of the sidewalk
the faint sound of footsteps in the night air
the light halo the moon gave my shadow

i could feel the wind beneath my soul
as i stepped off the earth

i descended into the depths of confinement
as my vitality transcended into the darkness
torn apart from the emptiness

i became aware that i had never really lived
but mourned a life that i had taken advantage of

somehow in the nocturnal breeze
as i began to fade into obscurity
i felt easily forgettable
