Swimmer by Rania D.

I hold onto remnants of your loveIt's not buoyant enough to stay afloatThe drift of thoughts carry me like tidal currents.Whirling emotions spiraling into a vortex of solitudeCrushing weight of heartbreak is pulling me downwardsI start sinkingAwaiting total submergeFrantically gasping for airIt strikes me, I faintly rememberOnce I was an excellent swimmerI reach out and emergeEscape these dark waters that convergeI'm a diverand have always been a survivor.By Rania D.
