I love the imagery and word choice you use, very unique. The bathtub has always seemed like a place of duality to me. we cleanse ourselves of filth yet the dirt our emotions seem to come out there as well.

i thought it was a siken quote after seeing it on a uquiz but its apparently not?? on googling, its from this person called maxim on twitter. very random but im glad to have come by it

That’s lovely! Where is that line from?

*all i want is for someone to split me open, look inside and say, it’s okay we can live here.*  
reminds me of this. wanting someone to swallow you whole and accept you but also realise you are poison and probably will consume yourself and still craving comfort its. its nice. thanks for sharing :)


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

Rip my soul and drink my fears
Salty bath full of tears.
Swallow me whole so I can disappear.

Run away,
Embrace me.

I Abhor the emotion I abstain from feeling
Let me Drown in my salty bath.

Run away.
Embrace me.
Run away 
Embrace me.

Leave me to drown in my salty bath.
I can’t shut my eyes.
Enthralled in my own misery wrapped in her warm embrace
Coddled in a heavy blanket of my own fears, soaked in my own tears

Drowning.

Run away
Embrace me
Let me just escape.
