Like Drowning

There are no words

For this heartbreak

And I wish I could write

Away this pain

But it settles

Like a bird within my chest

And every time I think of you

My heart flutters

With the beat of wings

But it is the claws grasp

Upon its delicate perch

Squeezing my heart

Causing more pain

Than I can bear

It makes me lose breath

And it feels like drowning

For this fish loved a bird

And he never knew

How much
