I DROWN

Blanketed in morbid sorrow,

surrounded by gloom.

My heart is broken,

irreparably.

My mind is a whirlwind of thoughts,

a tear slides down my cheek like a solidarity salty raindrop.

An ocean waves of sadness washes over me,

I tumble head over heels,

Lost in the immense expanse of salty tears combined into an ocean in which I can feel myself drowning.

I struggle to cry out,

To call for help to save me,

All the wild knowing,

There’s no one there to hear me.

My screams of despair

go unheard by all.

The long ago abandoned me,

Making my frozen heart shatter.

I’m all alone,

Gasping for air,

Hoping for a reprieve,

From the pain that’s crushing me to dust.

But I can’t break free,

my hands anchored to the sea

With no air,

there. is no life.

I drown.
