I was part of something wonderful, something real.
I was cared for and loved by an incredible man.
And then, he died.
Now I am alone, I am part of nothing,
in limbo, floating on a sea filled with terrors you can't imagine.
The surface is black and oily and swimming
just underneath that surface, threatening to pull me under
are vile nightmare creatures.
Creatures with names you have heard before -
Desolation, Heartache, Anguish, Despair, Misery, Sorrow.
Any one of them might call to me their siren song and
lure me to my own demise.
And yet I struggle against them
when they pull me down, gasping for air and
trying desperately to reach the surface again,
so I can just breathe.
Just breathe.
Just...
breathe...
