Sinking deeper

I feel like I’m in the ocean.   The water surrounds me, like a warm blanket. I’m in the middle of this expanse, sinking deeper into love.

      I found you one day.   You were cold and lonely.   I took you in.

                                      I start to sink.

You called me an angel.   I wrapped my wings around you.

                                      I sink faster.

  When we got to know each other, you said you loved me.   I believed you did.

                                      I’m sinking ever deeper.

      You treated me nicely, at first.   Then, later on in the stretch, you smothered me in lies.   Hatred and abuse rained down on me.   Like a torrential storm.

I’m losing air.

    You cheated, you made me cry.   My tears fell upon your cracked, black heart.   You didn’t love me.   You used me.

                                      I’m feeling faint.

        You took my goodness and used it as a shield.   You never wanted to be with me.   Go on.   Leave me in my sorrow.   Take your baggage with you.

                                      I slowly die.

I sink into oblivion.
