Drowning

Waves burst into your heart like a tsunami,

fracturing walls as if they were made of paper.

The low murmur of the sea is as consistent

as the perpetual humming in your heart.

The fortress you had once assembled has now vanished,

crumpled into piles on the terrain.

Tears run like water,

deliberately establishing a river beneath your chin.

You are inundating in the heart break,

you aren't tenacious enough to swim.

Agony laces through your ribs,

the earth shattering wailing squeezing its way out.

The secure life you once lived is no longer there.

Your whole world is concealed by water,

learn to swim or perish beneath the waves.
