Drowning

my entire body feels like it's both on fire and under water

in the deepest part of a pool,

it's both red and blue,

it smells like burnt flesh and salty tears,

it tastes like decomposing bone marrow and vomit,

and it reeks of begging to be held by the devil

i hopelessly choke on air as i sob like a little child

for my love will always be violent

like a tsunami, i will destroy and drown even the smallest of souls
