Save Me

I am submerged

below my flood of tears.

Can’t gaze

through murky vision.

My arms flail

trying to swim

through emotions

impeding my struggle.

I am drowning

I grit my teeth

to stay the flood

from flowing sobs

penetrating my soul.

Perpetual grief

adding to my misery.

My despair darkens

like sky’s sorrow.

Fissures weep

spitting blood of angst.

Chaos speaks

through thunder’s hammer

and lightning’s smite

Please, lend me

your heart

to float on before

deep watered threat

conquers

and takes me under.

Expel my torrents

from body and breath

before I gulp

the cascading torment

and nothing remains

but muck and sludge.

Quench my need

engulf me

immerse me

inundate me

wrap me

in your warmth

quell my pain.
