drowning in Sorrow

drowning in Sorrow up to my chin,
It burrows deeper into the skin,
not allowing anymore Breath in.

as my eyes hardly dare to stare ahead,
i tread forward with feet of lead,
and inside me beats a heart of dread.

Time moves toward an inevitable Fate;
it hurts to say goodbye and it hurts to wait,
   lovers embrace always a little too late.

shrouded in darkness created from these pains,
in cold loneliness only the present remains,
and both past and future hold my heart in chains.

Author's Note

This is not new, about 2+ years old actually. When I posted it here it had been revised from its original form. Version 2 is hopefully an improvement.
