Author's Note: This is not a love poem. Trigger Warning- Mention of war.

I have fallen
So deep
In the water
Just to get to you
I drowned
So I could show you trust
I fought through the war
To find you
I took a bullet to my brain
To save you from getting grazed
I choked
To stop you from holding your breath
I sunk
To rise you up
I went off the edge
To save you from tripping
I engulfed myself in flames
To keep you warm
And here you are
And here I am
Nothing will change
