Is it Still Called Drowning?

 

A disturbing calm

drawn upon

the surface of this pond

I’m falling under water,

seemingly with ease

 

I wonder

and I wonder,

is it still called drowning…

if I never

struggle to breathe?

 

The water’s calm and…

you’re gone

with so much by your side-

some memories and

some dreams I had

before I died

 

I’m drowning without you

by my side,

while my only reason

is to have

somewhere to hide

 

I’m drowning without ripples

of any tide

Without a splash of desperation…

not a breeze

 

If you could see my face,

you’d say I was happy,

seemingly with ease

 

I wonder

and I wonder,

is it still called drowning…

if I never even try to breathe?
