most days
the sea of sadness
engulfs you
like a tsunami
that swallows
homes
people
and the earth
you drown
and you drown
until
you can’t ask
for help anymore
you drown
till you cannot
differentiate
between these
tears and the
salty water
you drown
until you can
feel the pain
no more;
until you become
numb
and just like
destruction is
all that is left
when the
tsunami leaves
you too are
left
destructed
your body
is just like
the earth –
shaken
and full
of scars
your feelings
are like
the people –
some dead
some lost
most hopeless
sometimes
you see the
water receding
and the
tsunami coming
but
you don’t run;
you sit on
the shore
and admire
the sunset
one last time
until all you can
feel is
the water
drowning you
in its waves;
until all you can
feel is your
slow death.
