He Killed Me Before We Met

I can't swim.
Would it be so terrible if I jumped in?
Drowned in my sins?
Choked on that faucet of his
swallowing his next of kin?
How foul is that empty feeling
of him making my thighs thick but blood thin
so that a shadow can be where my soul once lived?
I'm his best kill.
