a long time

I can swim

but for you I drown,

choke.

drifting away you found me.

before you brought me back to life,

I saw the light

and it’s all darkness.

the only God is the one I am screaming for

when you touch me.

love used to be trivial.

but now all the songs make sense.

reality has a way of being miserable.

so far

but so close.

words fill my ears -

all your dirty little secrets.

including the one when I saw everything.

I traveled through time

and you were there.

it’s repeated in a whisper,

but as loud as the world.

It really is amazing what a feeling of love can bring out us. So much creativity. Thank you!

Is it crazy I want my heart broken because some of my best writing comes from that deep hole of hurt?
I say this because that is the way I interpret, "subject." However, this piece screams of being in the beginning of a topsy- turvy, bite my heart love affair.

I can swim
but for you I drown,----this is such a superb opening line!!!

Thanks for the read
