Drifting Away

.

By CotardDelusionzPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

I want to give up

I've lost my love

She's drifting away

In the current I made

Because there's a storm that follows me

I try to stay with her

But the waves overpower me

Take me under

To drown me

I reach out

But she doesn't reach back

She knows if she does

The waves will take her too.

As I sink I see her leave

The sun is beaming

It's sun rays shining through the blue

Her skin is sparkling

Like stars in the twilight

Like a glimmer of hope

I can't help but reach again just to feel her one last time

But when I try to grasp for her hand

It's just a refraction.

I sink to the bottom

Where the sun doesn't reach

And the water is cold.

As the current takes her away

I hope it's somewhere safe.

    This is some deep stuff. The imagery of losing love in that stormy current is powerful. Made me think of times when things slip away despite our best efforts. You describe the struggle so vividly. I wonder, what inspired you to write this? And how do you think others will relate to this sense of loss?
