Thoughts you have
While drowning
In your past 
Present
Future
And forever

Do people hear 
Me break 
Surface tension
Tension draining
From my face and arms
As I break 
From deep within
And know I never
Was pieced together

Tell them I’m sorry
And stare them down
In the face
Until they look 
Reasonably sad
For the situation 
At hand
Reasonable doubt
That it was in their hands

My eyes go dark
I am your black hole
Made of star dust
This dying nova  
Though my lungs cave in
Though the water rushes 
And I am still so young
And romantically strong
I am so tired 
I’m going to bed
Please don’t follow me-
Please don’t follow me here-
I’m going to the lake-
I’m going to die one day-

You should hear voices
You should hear me
You should see them-
They are empty threats
These are empty words
I am empty space
Vomiting my life
Into the next pound
I can lose
And the next friend
I can lose
And the next game
I can lose
So can I win this one
One empty lake
The perfect place 
To be alone for now
And then again forever?

Am I fighting for air
Or am I fighting instincts
Sucking in water
So I drown faster
Than I can pretend
I’m coming back 

There are not enough words 
To string together 
Anymore
I’ve tried to say to you-
“...”
So many times
And you don’t 
Hear me
Or the sound 
Is garbled
From the water
Or you don’t
Care about
The living dead
Only about keeping
The dead alive
There are not enough words-
Or sound
Or light
I’m running out of time-
I’m running out of-

Thoughts to have
While drowning-
There is nobody here-
But me- 
And the sky-
And
You 
Do 
Not
Recognise
Me
I 
Am
