Those Who Drown Me

April 8, 2015
By Anonymous

The water's clear and perfect

Like a world within some glass

With wonders covered in darkness

And mysteries time can't last.

 

All the while every pebble drops me deeper

The bits of sand add up fast

And as the sun grows ever colder

I wonder why I keep the past

 

So I sink down to the darkness

Drowned by those I love

Will I be a mystery in the lightless?

Or will I be remembered above?

Beautiful, and I really like your choice of words- simple, plus the rhyming makes it all the more touching to read. Great work!
