Drowned

Drowned

A Poem by Derek Nall

I caught myself breathing you in
Smelling all the places you've been…the approaching rain on your skin
I was living in the clouds
I needed a soft landing and I was looking to you
Your neckline the runway and I had tickets for two…I'll meet you there
Ill surely drown into you
With goosebumps like tidal waves and I can't breathe under water
Your breath was like a seashell and I heard the ocean coming
Skipping fingertips on your body of water, I surely drowned
I"d swim the seven seas to make you weak in the knees...I'd discover you
Unexpectedly 
We can make history
But now were history...
Tomorrow you can look back at me 
As if yesterday was a photograph you hold close to your heart
But just like waves blanket beaches, we slowly drift apart
The ocean that was once our love became the ocean between us
It just ripples when it rains
And the picture is framed with shame, the same way your bones frame your body
What a shame I cant swim there anymore
