Drifting
I have fallen
so deep (for you)
that I’m afraid
I’ll never find back
back to a life without you
back to a day without you
back to how things were before
my hand trembles
reaching out for you
you push it away
and I’m lost
lost in your words
that hug me
lost in a feeling
of belonging
and yet
we drift further apart
drowning in a sea of doubt
your hand reaches for me
but I am gone
and I am done
– with crying.
(B.L.)
