Drifting out of love

You are the ocean that drowned me,

destroyed my views on love.

You swept me up in huge waves,

and buried me beneath the surface.

I am drowning.

Drowning

in your sweet words,

and small talk.

You are a hurricane,

out to destroy the only place

I am able to call home.

You shattered my heart,

like glass falling to the floor.

I tried to pick up the broken pieces,

but cut myself on the sharp edges

that resemble every lie you ever told me.

It’s been two years,

and I am beginning to forget

the way your voice sounded

when you told me you loved me.

I loved you too, once.
