I felt myself sinking,
toes first
into the pluff mud
of my life,
slipping away
one piece
at a time.
The darkness rose
like an island,
pulling more of me
further down
and before I knew it
or could say a word,
I had already drowned.
It was that quick -
the silence -
and you were nowhere
in sight.
I guess if you looked
from a distance
I always looked fine.
Or maybe
you just never looked.
