drowning
in a lake, iced over
I am so cold.
I can’t surface,
and I don’t think that I want to.
the cold is burning past pain,
gently into warmth.
it’s wrapping its arms around me,
embracing me,
I give my whole self to the water,
sinking, surrendering.

drowning
in a lake, iced over
I am so cold.
I can’t surface,
and I don’t think that I want to.
the cold is burning past pain,
gently into warmth.
it’s wrapping its arms around me,
embracing me,
I give my whole self to the water,
sinking, surrendering.
