And every time you come into my mind you turn into a flood

It starts off slowly with the waters raising and wetting my feet

Soon i’m thinking of when we were together and you’re just above my knees

Then i stupidly find out from friends how you have been and you are at my chest

This is when i know i should get out of the waters because you make it difficult to breathe and i know soon it’ll be difficult to stay afloat

Then i remember all the time we spent together and i can no longer feel the ground

I am suspended in the flood that you cause in my mind, with no means of getting back to shore

It gets more and more difficult to stay afloat and it becomes difficult to breathe

As i’m floating through you, i feel myself slowly dying

The only thing i can do is accept what is to come as i struggle to breathe

The only thing i can do is immerse myself in your waters and wait for you to pass

As your flood continues to rush over me, i am pulled down to the bottom, with no means of escape

This is where i must rest until you leave me

But as most of you leaves, i find myself empty

I am no longer able to feel anything

I am drained of myself and i patiently await for you to come visit me again
