More True Love (Part I, Sleep)

In the end, you said you were leaving. I said I’d never let you go. You told me to get out.  I said I’d die first. You tried to run away. I said only death could keep us apart. You chloroformed me. I awoke with my feet in concrete. You said this was the only way. I screamed I’d love you forever. You threw me in the ocean. I sank like a stone. You watched me die. I watched you leave. You whispered goodbye. I said see you soon. You drove away. And I slept.

I can hold my breath…A long time! Art work by the superb Adam Archer!
