You know when your drowning
You don’t take in water until the last breath
In a desperate attempt to hope that
The water turns to air
And it’ll be all okay
And in some ways
That’s how I was with you
A desperate hope
That maybe
Somehow
Water would turn to air
And it would all be fine
But instead, my lungs burned
And my throat itched
As I tried to breathe in
And my lungs filled with water
Panic filled within me
And we made eye contact
And all I saw was cruelty
And it was to late
And I scratched
And squirmed
And I yelled
creating little bubbles in the water
While you held my head under
