Title: Submersion of a Fragile Soul
Writer: Jessica Scurio

I know now that it was because
I was lonely
Amidst a sea of people who each had a mate
to keep them afloat
That I grappled for you with trembling hands
to keep from drowning
And thought I was in love because, with you,
I wouldn't be alone
My fear of isolation overshadowed the fact that
you weren't the one.
