The Fog Swallowed You Whole

The fog swallowed you whole
And when once you were before me,
You are now gone.
I reach into the swirling white blindness,
Longing to touch the happiness that was there before,
My fingers only come away dripping scarlet liquid.
I persist until I start to feel drowsy,
And although I know giving up means losing you,
I cannot go on.
I sink to the ground,
Wanting,
Needing you to lift me up.
I never leave the cold ground,
Until the white fades to black.
And I am floating.
