I sink
By violetdarkness
there's something about the blow of the wind
like sharp, whipping
stabs of pain bringing no hope
of recovery.
peeling my skin to reveal the
flesh
and my veins are ropes that
hang my fate.
curse the night. i'll
leave this place, barefooted
i'll wear off
my clothes and walk to the beach
on the
shore perhaps, when i soak my feet there
i'll
step on some shells filled with
lies and myths.
naked, i'm here now, ignoring
the sky
i remember the night when
she whispered the word
-goodbye- like
the art of dancing - million fireflies
burning
my soul and turning it to ash.
my feet
are wet, atlast. and i'm going deeper
this
portion of the earth's too shallow for me to drown
the pain. like poems in a torn off paper. deeper
i go deeper, until i forget how to swim.
and
the moon would solemnly watch me to sink
and the
stars would then hear me catch my breath
the powerful
force of the winds and the waves
would push me deeper
to my death. in the abyss.

Sadly morose and I'd be worried about the sharks because they do feed at night! Great line stepping on the seashells filled with myths and lies, keep writing!
