The only sound that drowns my eardrums is the deathly tone of your whispering wonders.

Right or wrong
Yes or no
Black or white
All or nothing
Drowining in darker
Shades of gray

Whats left from the ball game
I walk through rows of soggy buns
And deluted beer
No one finishes:
Conrad creates a trash bag pancho
Brandon finds an unopened can of beer
Stephens still engaged to spider women
And the carboard folds like a soft taco
When I stuff tarter sauce in my water logged trash bag
I under stand trench warfare completly:
My toes are drowining
Andrew thinks hes a dog
Dwain gave up drinking six years ago
Allens speaking gibberish (we still love him)
I dont know why
Were here.
Each of us wear the same caps
Like a team of washed up minor league players
wondering why were still here
Even more when we have to work for the rain.

He reads clouds in the sky,
sees wind's great works of art.
Bobbing gently through each wave,
While he floats and dreams in a lake,
secretly seaweed wraps around his body.

Foggy underwater waves make his mind,
body, and lungs set desperatley fighting
in a breathing brought war of water and air.

The boy is drowining, an idyllic dream
landscape lake turned into a nightmare.

Slowly as seaweed and currents bring
his body to the dark depths of the lakescape,  
malice endrapes itself through
one ear and out of the other; fate.

The bubble blood life force of the boy from air,
turns slowly to liquid, and his ghost dissolves.

Coldness lingers and clawing weakly
through frictionless water,
lake bottom hits and frozen fingers.

This boy's brain beginningly starts
disentigrating as it processes
the trickle drip
flow and ebb of
lake currents that sound
and surround each thought.

He remembers each
whispering wave
telling him to get in,
with the sun beating down,
the enticement to drown.
And his mother's voice
yells to him from a
heavenly place,
but he knows his watery
tomb will become ear muffs
for his mother when the
depths
finally win:
will his life force to its bitter end.

Back on black lake mud,
and the sun framed in waves
in the glowing waters above.
And the tangled arms of seaweed
beckon those that leasure
on the surface.

Childhood faces and
feel good places
dissapear from his mind.

At the bottom of the lake,
this boy becomes himself,
with the world's first hinting
of trauma, he let his naivity die  
in a dramatic show, body blows
and a new manifesticity to sit by.

With each inhale of water,
this kid's childhood dies.
And by the time he resurfaces,
he has lost what it means to be alive.
Drowning is scary

Stuck inside of a fish tank.
Not stuck, but
Trapped.
She looks around at
The pretty decorations
Happy they are there
But knowing its not
enough.
She swims around
In circles
Watching as her
friends and her
Family
Walk past,
Not noticing their
Pet
Pounding on the
Glass,
Screaming at the
Top of her lungs,
"I'm drowning!"
*I'm drowining.

Thinking about that day.
It was raining,
But not just outside,
My eyes were raining.
Thunderstorms.
But why over me?
I look over, and I see you smiling.
While I'm drowining in my
Tears
And
Rain

Feeling a little down.
Fenix Flight Jun 2014
the feelings inside
crash within me
like waves against the cliff side.

Their cold embrace
threaten to drown me
in their icy waters.

Waves of pain
keep spilling into me
flooding me with its all consuming despair

Hold my breath
I kick my way to the surface,
trying to find the sun's light.

My head breaks through,
take a huge gulp of air.
I made it, I survived

But the churning water drags me down again
The light slowly fading
All sence of direction gone.

The water invades me,
filling my nose and mouth
flooding my lungs.

I'm drowining in my emotions
Just when I think I am on dry ground
they drag me back with binding chains.

Life is gone
Tiana Lloyd Mar 2018
I Entrusted you
With My Being, My Essence, My Life.
Displayed my Chimeric Tormented Spirit—
Bared my Skin and Shed my Soul
I showed you the depths of my Hurt—
An endless Chasm—
Suffocating Wretchedness,
Spoke to you of True Pain—
Endless torture; boundless ruptures
Tumultuous Lightning Storms
Within My Chest,
Of Sorrow Simultaneous—
Drowining in Tears
Too Bold to Shed.
You viewed my sacred landscape
Riddled with War
Ravaged by the Merciless
***** by those who plant
Seeds of Birth...
And still Brought only
Death.
My Blackened Heart further Decaying...
In your Hands—
A Testament to My Desolation
My Wrath.
You Squeezed—
Forgetting you weren’t the First—
To
Attempt
My
Annihilation.
Our minds meet our hearts throb.
Giving into desires burning flames
Your hands on my hips your warm
Whisper that Lingers in my ear
I am lost in this forbidden moment
Naked minds our souls entwine
Each touch fills me with euphoria
Drowining in your eyes
you the lick the deepest parts that
You know so well fireworks are
Bursting in my mind my body
Offers its self to you as if you where a
Greek god going with the flow twitching
Hips shaking bodies I can feel it coming
My back archs and I howl to the moon
The moment is gone and I am left wearing
Nothing but the smile you gave me

— The End —
