Abyss
When your heart lies heavy in your chest Swinging from a string tied to your throat Shrunken and pendulous Too heavy for its size Leaden When that string pulls with every breath Tightening in your throat hard to swallow Sending forth a quiet choked sob from your lips Bite it down Bleeding When your eyes stare into a void Never-ending nothingness Saltwater builds and blurs Steaming down your face Falling When your head throbs and swirls With memories you'd rather forget Thoughts your rather not have Reminders of what you lose Sinking Where do you go? What do you cling to? What's left? Abyss
