====================

At times I get this surreal feeling that I'm leaning over a chasm, hand grasping in vain for another who's fallen into the abyss, one who's beseeching expression is frozen in time as darkness takes over.

There are also times when I feel like I'm the one who's spiralling down that abyss, with arm stretched out hopelessly towards the diminishing figure of the one leaning over.

And then there are those times when I feel like I'm both.
