« When I Am All | Main | Trying »
January 28, 2008
Swallowed
It’s like standing in quick sand
Trying not to make any sudden moves
Not reaching for help,
Or wiping away the tears
Not saying what my heart
Wants to say
Not staying will make it
Easier to go away
Being lighter
Doesn’t make me buoyant
Doesn’t make me stronger
Doesn’t matter anyway
The sand won’t hold
Much longer
I never minded pulling in
As much as I do now
Trying not to think too much
What heaven won’t allow
Broken piece by broken piece
I’ll be swallowed up
Quietly slipping away
Hoping you might forget me, then
Just like you did today.
