Analysis of Down, down, down
Nur Aliyah Luq binti Mohd Ali Masyhum 2007 (Malaysia)
For a moment, it was like stars in the sky,
A clear soft liquid,
Yet salty when a drop of it touch the sense of my taste,
Gently kissing me as my body enveloped it,
I watched the ripples turned into gallows as I sink into the abyys.
A gasp of pure sincerity,
Something that would forever move my body,
As I plunged below the world that forever clouded my mind,
I sunked,
Down, down and down.
Until I couldn’t see sparks of the world anymore,
Until I couldn’t see him anymore.
And as I took my last breath of happiness,
Bofore I sunk down to the deep pool of sadness and fear,
I had one last though of my happiness,
him, him, him
As I sunk, taking the happiness away from me.
Taking him away from me.
And I sunk,
Down, down, and down.
