Love Poem: Quicksand

Quicksand

with each word I say to you
I feel myself being taken 
down by the undertow
below the boggy mire
as I struggled to say 
just the right thing
I find myself sinking
trapped knowing inevitably 
I'm helpless as each word
provides more of a struggle
into the quicksand 
of our broken love
