Relapse

it's a grim thought that changes my whole mindset

i can't find a way to shove the image of your face

out of my mind

i'm frightened that it will soon be gone

out of my grasp

 

i have nothing to hold onto

slowly sinking under the waves

again

my eyes inch up to the surface

to find the children and friends

laughing and whistling

 

crimson waves take me further

it slowly seeps from my own body

frozen, i find strange comfort

deeper by the second

 

how will i escape this once more?
