I am frozen to my core,
shocked,
and amazed at the turbulence
that surrounds me
and controls my fate.
(My future is no longer my own,
it changes with the whimsy of the waves.)
I cannot control my limbs,
I lash out,
but I am lost
unable to find myself in the dark;
still shaking,
even after I've opened my eyes
I can feel the water
filling my lungs,
dragging me down.
I am terrified.
Yet,
I want to drown
in you.

I would love, love, love comments on this poem. It's a little more dramatic than I normally go for so I'm unsure if it's too much. Though, to be fair, this poem was a little more emotional than the others that I've written as of late.
