I like water
Swimming, floating…
Drowning

Its all quite peaceful, if you ask me
I like the way my body makes ripples as the water huddles around me
Waves

I gasp for air
I need more air

I have all the air I need, now
The water is almost calm
Just ripples from what almost happened

I spin and turn, trying to catch my breath
I can’t do it
It’s almost too late

It’s not too late
Calming down; that’s what is happening now
The water is calming down, yet again
I drift further into the waves

Into the ripples
Until all that is left of me is what almost was
