The next two, I wrote separately and at different times, but they go together in spirit.  Drowning is about being in a bad relationship and how every day is a fight that eventually leaves you numb to the world.

Drowning

She enters the room

Already I can feel it

Pressure building

What’s going on?

Tension growing

Explosion

Flows in

Blows out

Suffocating

Hold my breath

Must save love

Ankles, Knees

She doesn’t skip a beat

Waist, throat

Still if flows

Mouth, eyes

Ice cold

In over my head

Going numb

No feelings

Muffled scream of fear

Warmth blows out

Still it flows

Last desparate search

Nothing

Despair

Love is lost

So it ends

Numb…

numb…

nothing.
