Prompt: write a tritina

“Endless Despair” Tritina

I swallow the bitter
Of your tongue, cower in the night
Afraid I will sink and drown

Worn down and weary, I drown
From pills so bitter
I cannot tell day from night

Now my soul is dark as night
Your cursed memory, I drown
I am left alone, bitter

In bitter despair, I drown in the endless night
