You flood my every thought
I need something to keep me afloat
I can’t breathe and my lungs are crushed
But you’re next to me and that’s all that matters
Everyday it gets worse
Like the storm of you will never end
Lightning strikes when you look at me
Rain soars when you touch my lips
Clouds cover my eyes
Blocking everyone but you
I’m drowning in your smiles
And I’m buried in your laughter
I need air to fill my body but there is none left
I can’t see anything but you
I’m not supposed to feel this
I’m not supposed to be drowning
I’m not supposed to give pieces of my heart to untrustworthy hands
The flood is a hurricane now
And the hope of surviving has vanished
My lungs are tired
And my mind is sinking
But now I know
why storms are named after people
