Poems For The Lover And The Loner

Drowning (Parallel version)

"If you were the ocean

I would drown forever in your presence

you mean everything to me

I would never fear drowning in you."

but here I am,

drowning in the same cold and uncaring abyss

that I am undoubtedly familiar with.

I don't gasp for air, I know to act calm

though I sit alone, and I seem so small.

My personality begins to rot away,

and I no longer know exactly who I am

I think I am losing myself again...

and I don't know if I should give in
