Saltwater

I think I'm drowning

The way she smells tugs at my stomach

Bile fills up fighting

It's way up my throat and

The way she laughs is making it hard to breathe

My lungs choke with brackish water

Her laugh entering my throat a painful sob

As I struggle just to stay afloat

Her eyes reflect the sea I'm

Drowning in

She's Killing me

And she knows it

​

I reach out my hand hoping she'll grab on hoping

She'll pull me up

She leans forward for a moment

I have hope but

she kisses my cheek my

Face goes red as my lungs fill up

I can't cough it out fast enough and

The last thing I see is her smile

As she watches me

drown
