                                            Water.


​Even as I struggle she pulls me further in,
I grow heavier, defiant, and can no longer swim.
She bites me on a reef, cuts me from underneath,
And the water starts changing colors.
I am falling in a thick air I can’t breathe in,
But I prefer her to all the others.
As the tide tries more,
And current does too
The odds are stacking no matter what I do.
But do I want to be safe?
Is that honestly true?
Or do I want to drown in this ocean of you?
