Heartbreak

Drowning, capsized and falling beneath.
Water filling my lungs.
Making it impossible to breath.
Sinking to the cold hard bottom.

Heartache, crushed yet feeling numb.
Unable to feel my surroundings.
Too hard to move on with life.
Cringing at every memory.

Screaming, sobbing at every dream.
Insomnia settling into nightly routine.
Skin white as snow.
Blue tints the corners around my eyes.

Breaking, crashing and ear splitting.
The sound of a heart that breaks.
Pain no longer a feeling.
Instead becoming a memory.

Staring, incognizant and immobile.
All through the day long.
Through the night nothing moves.
Shadows creep around not touching.

Silence, quietness making the loudest sound.
Words have been lost inside.
Beauty fading with the sun.
Light drowned in darkness.

Loving, laughing and joy gone.
Bitterness seems not far behind.
Hope of tomorrow not seen or heard.
Who is to save now?
