Sinking down deeper into this body of water,
that's so cold I swear I'll freeze before they notice me.
Ovid Nov 2015
The cold is the only warmth I've  known
The heat only comes from within and all there is to come
The only rise I have is when the waves lift me to my apex
My only apex
The trough is where I've been and belong
To be drowning for so long some thirst has to be quenched
The relentless reality of a drifter is forever lost
Sorrow only grows and is never relinquished
Misfit into an ocean of hungry sharks
Drown or be bitten apart
You held my hand, you explained
and I felt nothing
You told me we were whole again
and I felt nothing

That day I walked home feeling broken
Now your back like no hurt was ever spoken
and I feel nothing
When you left I couldn't bear to let it sink in
You gave up all that the two of us had been
and I felt nothing

You held my hand so I would stay
and I felt nothing
I´ve been waiting forever for this day
and I feel nothing
what do you think?

In the cry of my heart, In the tears of my soul,
I've found a forgetful love
In that love I tried to find some peace
But I was too much of a dreamer
A love made of needles,
A love that offer a ****** fountain,
That what I had found,
A melodic fountain made with,
The sound of my tears
And the blood of my sorrow
A fountain, where I sink ...

Drown me with your tears
Let me sink in your overflowing sorrow
Until I cannot feel anymore

Let me die slow
Inside my helpless body
Only to accept bitter fate

Look at me falling into the depths
And turn into dust
Completely forgotten
Don't let yourself drown.
Hailey Oct 2015
I surrender to this darkness,
that seems to be my life.
     I sink deep into this madness
that kills me like a knife.
     I withdraw from those around me
to give time to heal my heart
     For if what I've become, you were to see
we'd surely drift apart.
Hanna Mae Mata Oct 2015
If you want me
to do the dishes,
you need to leave
your heart
beside the sink.

Take a deep breath
and sink
to the dark unknown.

Close your eyes
and feel the relief
of being alone.

Let the waves wash away
the sins of your home.

it's okay
now that you're on your own.
Cecil Miller Sep 2015
Is it love or is it lies?
Perhaps both, or neither,
Inflamed by need,
Quenched by self,
Swollen with desire.
Imagination fans the fire
Until the floorboards creak outside my door
- Then I brink for her no more.
She-bob, he-bop, a we-bop

You cannot keep him afloat.
No one can.
You'll drown yourself if you try.
Keep yourself afloat.
Do things for you.
Make you happy.
Tell him about them.
Include him if he'll be included.
Talk to him.
Talk to him about simple things;
About beautiful things;
About curious things;
About mundane things.
Let him know you're there and floating next to him
That you will help him float if he needs it
But don't you dare drown yourself holding him above the water while you can't breathe.
