It’s hard to breathe...

I’m suffocating...

I drown in your pain,
your weight drags me down.
How can it be that your
sadness weighs more than

like a siren drowning a sailor,

at me with those simple, darkened eyes
and tell me over and over,
“Don’t leave me, don’t abandon me,
you’re all that I have...”

I look at you and try to smile,
“If I could I would, but you know... I’ve lost
everything,” I say,

“Everything but you...”
