Fall From Grace

Description: This is a poem I've been thinking of doing for a while, but never really got to actually writing it out until recently. The style was partially inspired by E.E Cummings, and the topic itself is somewhat based on an episode of BBC's Sherlock called "The Reichenbach Fall."
