Memories of you flood my mind

Every single time my eyes close.

I thought perhaps I could leave you behind,

But even now, I envision you when I doze.

Thinking of you with anyone else

Is a stab wound to the chest;

The words you once said still trigger my racing pulse

And cause me to nearly go into cardiac arrest.

I am drowning in the flood of memories

Which combine to form an ocean so cold and blue;

I am drowning in painful thoughts—

I am drowning in you.
