Drowned

Drowned

A Poem by Victoria Thornton
"

I wrote it like last year. Enjoy?

"

I f*****g hate you!

I drowned because of you.

I thought I would never resurface.

I swam.

I swam.

Never reaching the surface.

 

I should blame myself.

For staying with you.

You were my drug.

I got addicted.

I thought you were my ultimate high.

I took you in every day like a vitamin.

Until I found out that I over dosed.

Then you pushed me into the black ocean.

I saw you.

 

You pulled me down by my neck.

As if I had a leash on.

My breath began to fade.

My lungs began to burn.

Fade.

Gasp.

Your leash tightened around my neck.

Pulling me further down.

Killing my every last will.

My hands on the leash.

Searching.

Searching for a weakness.

Searching.

Finding no weakness.

 

I died by your hands.

Drowned.

I float down to the black sea floor.

Then nothing.

Beautifully dark imagry! The abyss's we've all fallen into and drown and the pusher so rarely ever realizes that they've pushed( if they even care). great poem!

Really great write! I love the emotion and honesty. As a free verse is flows so well and it works with the anger.

oh-oh, I think I'm addicted to someone too. Isn't it awesome that we can feel so many things at once?!

This was really good. I like the idea of being addicted to a person, and then being betrayed. It was very emotional and you could really feel what was going on. Excellent read, excellent write. Keep up the awesome work!
