Abyss

Your words- your

indifference,

 

they turned me to stone.

My heart- my once liquid

insides- are hardened now.

 

I bet you could capture the envy of Medusa herself.

 

Reality visited and crushed me to marble bits.

You took a piece with you,

I thought to cherish always.

 

But you tossed it- me

into the seemingly bottomless ocean

without ever looking back; you wouldn’t dare.

 

I remain still, unmoving.

I know not of time any longer.

 

Darkness so endless,

where light is but a distant stranger.

 

Sound does not travel a journey that far.

 

This liquid barrier is the only touch I have to comfort me.
