Albatross

The darkness It surrounds me It surrounds my heart I feel it engulfing me More and more It grows larger and larger With every breath Every second It is so hard to explain My heart is heavy Sad Weak It is dying This I know For I feel it Growing weaker with every beat Every single solitary movement My pulse gets slower with each passing day Each passing hour Each passing second It is so hard to explain it It is like death is taking over my body Yet I am not dying Not yet anyways Eventually death will come Not today though Maybe not even tomorrow But it will come And my heart My heart Is preparing itself For when it does eventually Have to stop pumping the blood For when it eventually has to stop beating
