Drowning

Yellow-white sun is shining
Morning birds are singing
I feel and hear none of it

I've stopped trying

My memories, my thoughts
Your blue eyes, your face
Etched in pain
My love and concern for you
Will never die

I've stopped trying

My only hope is for your health, your success
A life filled with happiness
For me,

I've stopped trying

My life is gray & silent,
An underwater nightmare
A fog that never lifts

I've stopped trying


I love you so much
A love that grows and swells,
But never reaches you
A love not felt

I've stopped trying

And I'm choking on my tears,

I am drowning.
