Fragments

⤞unwanted memories

I am abandoned,
set adrift on the tide,
a bare brokenness of rags
with nowhere left to hide,
and in one lost moment,
as I tentatively embrace
the need to drown,
I am barely treading water
as the eddy begins
to pull me down;

I swirl on the current,
drawn deeper into the depths,
where the echo of you
still lingers
in ways I don't ever
want to accept.
