Drowning in a memory pool
The heart hastens in looping thoughts
It quickens in memory of you
How do you forget?
How is anything erased?
I cannot delete these incessant thoughts
The beat of our hearts bang in my head
So the tears trickle
As the blood thickens vessels adrift on the inside
Endlessly
Ever so slowly until they pour
Till I am swimming in an ocean of romantic interludes, swirling …
Drowning, drowning, drowning…
I cannot forget us- as I try to swim towards the facade a ghostly apparition of you
Against the currents undertow, effortlessly
Sinking, sinking, sinking
Pulling my spirit down into the deepest murky darkness of solitude
Without you
Soon I will glide across the tranquil reflective inky waters
Floating towards safety
Meeting you at the shores edge
Like some beacon of hope waiting, wading timelessly
Till the tides wake
Takes me away once more
Surrendering to the bliss and memory of you
