I WILL NOT LET GO

All is
plunging
into the
oceon.
Fabricating their
path
to the deep.
dare not chase
what's already
gone.
Because it burns
really, really
bad.
Be stubborn
enough
and you
will
drown yourself.
Get
trapped and
buried
in the
eyes
of regret.
Instead
reach for
what
will always
and
forever remain
with
and only
you.
My heart.
