Bittersweet Waters

We left so bittersweet

A twist of tentacle-like emotions pulling me down with every reach

At this moment I'm tired of struggling, of losing oxygen

Tired of trying to breathe in the water and fight for a life with you

I'm choosing to survive, even if its a temporary peace of mind

It's suffocating

Loving when its never to be returned

The ocean gets darker every time

Every time I struggle it gets deeper and more bitter

I respect your choice to let me get swallowed by the waters

Allowing me to follow into the depths

And you respect my choice of silence 

The agreement is sweet, but intoxicating 

This ocean feels so deep and bittersweet

now I can see why, you kinda can really relate to my few poems, I guess at some point, we got the same feels. I very much enjoyed this as I am also fond of the waters, iykwim :)

First of all, I'd like to say... I'm very impressed with the metaphor of the ocean that stays present throughout the poem. You weave that very intricately and correctly into the main theme of the piece. Very nice, Ace.

Thank you, and I've been trying really hard to work with my emotions and things of life and blend them into my poetry. Thank you again, for your words.
