Surrounded

surrounded

they swarm about her
engulf her
drag her under

so many
all around
yet

she is alone
all alone
deep down
she knows

she always has been
trivial conections
fabricated chemistry

none mattered
the real
it hurts

the light is blinding
truth
realization burns

her heart aches
mention of his name
stabs

arms flailing
legs kicking
lungs full

lies bubble
spill in
fall out

the surface
so
so
far away

a hand breaks
the surface
parts

reach
deeper
the bottom

is not so far

from

the top

This is excellent. I've been in that place myself, so it rang true :)
