Excruciating Goodbyes

The smoke filters in

and corrupts my failing lungs.

The smokestack laughs.

-

From its distance, it

pours out its corrosive pains,

leaving me choking.

-

Your breathing did the

same too, starting to fail.

The sea took you then.

-

As the rain fell, I

spoke excruciating

goodbyes, falling

-

Back into the pit,

I’d tried so hard to escape,

I’ll never get out.
