POEM:
A sea of people
around me, and
yet I have never
felt so alone.
Everyone keeps
surviving, as if,
my entire world
is not crumbling
before me.
How do I live
in the rubble,
where you no
longer exist?
A sea of people
around me,
and I am
drowning,
but everyone
knows I can
swim.
Air escapes
my lungs.
Water fills
within.
A weight so
heavy on my
sternum; I
am sure it
will fracture.
No one
save me.
I want to see
you again.
