A spilt life

I wake up just past midnight
And feel like something is missing
I've lost something precious
It's as if I spilt milk
And I can not place it back in the bottle
I'm choked up with tears
...and longing
Where has that happy, carefree me gone?
Why this indescribable sadness
...and hurt?
Living on the surface
suddenly plunging deeper
Touching regrets and longings
Struggling back to the surface
I may drown in these depths
Drown in wanting it to be different
other
than what is -
Better to accept and
appreciate and
focus on
being grateful
I
fl
oat
back
to the surface
survive
