Sinking

I miss you. I'm dying the slow death drowning in a sea of people I don't know never wanted to know because there's only ever been you who sings to my soul calling me back yet never quite wanting me. I struggled through the crowd to find you knowing full well you don't want to be found at least not by me. I feel my determination waning away my mind pulled under by unknown voices my body sucked into an unfamiliar crowd I close my eyes imagining your hand as a Lifeboat pulling me to you but you're not here not really and I sink slowly into a loud yet voiceless crowd. ©Sam Harty
