Drowning

This poem is another one from my short, ten poem collection titled "Fantasy."

Your kiss pulls me down,

down into this deep ocean

full of my secrets and regrets.

I flounder above the waves

flailing, treading,

but soon I grow weary

with nothing to hold on to

except water and air.

They’re no longer useful

to survive.

My lungs fail. My limbs weaken.

The pressure builds around me

as I quickly sink, trapped

by feet encased in shame.

My ears rupture and bleed,

calling all the sharks to feast,

and the bubbles trap my scream.

If I cease to struggle

I will freeze. Frozen

heart, frozen lips.

All because of your kiss.

Trapped by a kiss can be quite a deadly situation
