A drop

Gathering ever so slowly

Filled with sadness

Loss

Regret

Growing, on the verge of bursting

An ever present need to be shared

Heard

Helped.

A smile

Plastered on like a mask

Hiding the sadness

Loss

Regret

No one noticing below the surface

Quiet, desperate screams to be comforted,

Listened to,

Helped.

An ocean

Fed by a swiftly flowing river

Overflowing with sadness

Loss

Regret

Pulling me further down every day

No one there to hold me up

Hear my splashing as I drown

Help me find my way back to the surface.
