drowning

there's this feeling 

it comes and hangs around once and a while.

like being plunged into cold water,

an endless pit of black; nothingness.

while not being able to swim.


why should i struggle

with the weight pulling me beneath,

when there is no point?

the numb that comes with the freezing cold,

is better than the pain.


but there is a mermaid

in the endless dark.

she pulls me up,

to the warm surface each time.


yet when i get there,

the pain of the change

of temperature

makes me wish to be

below again.
