Drowning

A death for the girl I once knew

By Bria LamonicaPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read
Top Story - July 2024

He walks through the door in a rain coat

with tears streaming down his tanned cheeks

"I know" I say curled up

from my spot on the couch

where I am drowning

in the cushions

He leaves me

to pack

Up
