Have you tried running with water in your hands? I can’t hold myself, I’ll slip through

You said you were left

shattered in pieces

but what about the water

dropped in a splash so quick

unseen

and no where near a river or sea

To be filled with emptiness

Emptiness began to feel very filling

I watched the person that I thought I always had swept away from his grasp by rapids of turbid consciousness. I see what’s left is a shell in a drained basin, waiting for its old inhabitant to be brought by a current that may never return.
