A Fall

In the symbolic waters of an ocean a person is left alone by their only support.

As your hand left mine

I was engulfed by the ocean of brine

Screaming, calling your name

Hoping that this was only a game

Counting till ten waiting for you

While drowning in the deep blue.

Soon I couldn’t breathe

Began trying to kick myself out of this dream

How ever could you leave me alone

Struggling to survive all on my own

Yelling knowing drowning was near

Inevitably, this was all for real.

Kicking, throwing my hands trying to swim

My face failing to stay over the sea’s brim

Woefully my muscles stopped responding

I was left to believe this was the end calling

Going limp I stopped trying

Sinking knowing I was dying.

I tried to scream under the surface

Remembering how we thought no one could hurt us

Unexpected was your betrayal and flight

I tried to hold my breath until my plight

Unbearable pain seared and overflowed

Almost as if my head was about to explode.

Unable to resist the urge to breathe

I inhaled the water and felt suffocating pain

Black patches appeared as I lost my consciousness

My body stopped and ceased its tenseness

For my lungs had stopped breathing

Alas, I was no longer dying.

I couldn’t stop anything

I regretted everything

It was because of trust in something

That I turned into nothing.
