Drowning

As you spoke
those simple words
rage became me
my mind was blank
I screamed
I howled
I said what I did not
ever wish to reveal.

In my fit
I could not think
and my goblet
I threw at you
though it missed
and fell to the floor
not only the glass
but also your heart
shattered upon
unforgiving stone.

Now you’re gone
and there is nothing
left for me to do
but kneel here and cry
my tears falling
upon the ground
and to slowly drown
in my memories of you.

Author notes

based of the quote..

"A tear, a tear. I cried. A glass, a glass. I smashed. A heart, a heart. I broke." - J. M. Spenser
