Drowning
Why is the light off?
Where did everyone go?
Why am I so still?
Unmoving?
Motionless?

One... two...
"Three..." I exhale
Four... five...
Empty
I feel empty

So in the darkness I sit
Held up only by the wall against my back
Cold
Rigid
Nothing like you

How come I can't even let the air in?
Where did this even come from?
This feeling of loneliness
Isolation
Solitude

I stumble back into bed as I try to stand up
Falling
Plummeting
Plunging into water
Fighting my way to the surface of this raging ocean just for you to pull out a gun and place the trigger on my heart

But I smile softly, knowing at least it's over
Because missing you comes down in crashing waves
And tonight, I feel me drown.
