Leaves, they fall upon the cold earth. I stand, rooted and observing. The words left unspoken for so long, are now shared. Your eyes grow wide, and round You apologize, denial rushes through you. My future is now as black as a starless night, empty Cold. My stomach clenches, churning with loss. Cool winds chill me to my bones. I see you shiver as you walk away. But you won't feel, Won't hear, The shatter of my heart, Won't see the remnants of my life, Disappear. Loss, It is something we all go through, But you're not supposed to lose, The only one that ever knew The real you.

First, came the fall. Then, the splash. Next, were the thrashing, sinking, and downward spiral. Dark water surrounds, Even darker below, But warmer, warmer above, Colder below. Air escapes me, Slipping from my lungs, Those precious little bubbles. Vision goes blurry, The bubbles fade away. Water greets the cells, Gasping, needing, So precious the air. Down I go, Lost to the world, No more am I your problem, No more will I worry those around me. No more,  Am I a burden.
