Drowned Under Ignorance

words spoken...

unheard

feet rush by....

soundless

gurneys roll...

muted

disconnected

isolated

incoherent gaze

sitting

where?

hospital

why?

someone missing

who?

memory flash

what happened?

realization

abandoned

out of focus

attention withdrawn

worlds spin,

yet one grinds down...

slowing...

stopping...

dam breaks

guilt rushes in

heart erodes away

tidal wave of agony

rip curled into grief

grounded into rocky shore

Drowned

Under

Ignorance
