I feel like I'm drowning.
I've been caught in the current that's been dragging at my feet,
Pulling me under with every step I try to take.
Dark, murky water leaks through my mouth and nose as I scream your name, bubbles coming out instead of sound.
Oxygen is gone, leaving my body burning from it's absence and my head start's filling up with sludge...

Literally, or metaphorically?

I can't think,
Heart is fluttering erratically as I flail around,
Limbs feelings like the spaghetti noodles we ate last night;
And my mouth is still agape with your name frozen on my lips.
Deeper and deeper I fall,
Drowning under thoughts and fears that always seem to win.

But you're above water and can't even hear me.
I'm drowning by myself.
