The Dead Sea

i feel as if i am drowning
gasping for air 
the dead float all around me 
and in moments i am engulfed
drowned by the pain within me
a pain worse than death
the pain of being alone 
in a sea of the dead
and still the wave of pain rises over my head

Hi Chrisian! This write projects an overwhelming sense of sadness, and yes, "the pain of being alone".:( One can feel consumed by the death of whatever, or whomever. I hope all's well with you! At times Time seems to drag its heels, but I'm sure it will arrive and overtake your sadness. Best to you and yours! Mikki
