DROWNING UNDER ICE
Trapped.
Scratching at the surface, deep
Under water, trying
To explode through
This cold hard sheet of ice.
I call: no answer
I text: no reply
I cry I shout, gasping for air
I scream.
Where are you?
An echo floods through,
A saved voicemail, your voice
Faded and gargling now:
"You're the best friend I've ever had.
I love you."
I love you.
Behind this ice, hiding
From that unknown
From temptation
From another explosion
Of chemicals,
From that nature you fear
Like a flood, this tsunami behind
My icy shield; your icy shield.
Help me.
Please. Xx
