drowning

Drowning

A rock is bound to my heart,
And a million tiny drops
Crush me with the gravity of grief.
Memories rush into the cavities
Designed for breath,
And with a gurgling surge
Choke out every last
Molecule of life.
My writhing body
Claws feebly,
In vain attempts to reach
Above the surging waves,
And at last goes still-
At rest in an ocean of pain.
