Drowning
~~~~~~~~
I got in too deep and now I'm drowning
Flailing my arms around aimlessly
Knowing that no one can rescue me
There's no one to rescue me!
No person or thing can save me now
No one
But me
Ha! As if I could save myself
Foolish me!
I have chosen not to be saved
I turn my head left and right
Craning my neck
Searching
For anything to grab onto
But all I see is you
All around, making my eyes sting
I open up my mouth to scream
Hoping in vain that someone would hear me
But as my mouth opens you flood in
Blocking my attempt at safety
At living in peace
Living, without you
But I can't bring myself to care
To blame you
As usual, I blame myself
I close my eyes in defeated victory
Resigned joy
Painful contentment
As I slip deeper into you
For I am completely defenseless
Why?
Because you own my heart
Shattered it to pieces
Softly yanking me into you
Causing me to slip
And left me alone
Drowning
