Muffled words,
Soft voices,
Cold nights,
And barely floating,

Bruised thighs,
Tight ropes,
Still trying to stay afloat,

Stomach-in-knots,
Throat hoarse,
Words echoing,
Drowning.

Realization,
All                    I                    Needed,

                      Was,

To                                             Swim.
