star-crossed lover ; poetry

three

i'm unsteady /  when did i start feeling  this type of way? / i'm unsteady / its like i'm slipping on ice / but i'm not cold and / i don't break easy / it takes the water still stirring underneath me to shatter me with fears and doubts / but before i fall through it / as the ice shatters / i see you a few feet away from me / wild expression in your gaze / mist fogs your mouth / a strangled gasp as i—

   fall

          under.

will you save me?

 no, you, wearing a  that heartbreaker smile -

                it lits up as you 

            watch me fall under the surface 

before the grin is whipped off you, 

and I'm screaming underwater 

will you save me? 

but everything is tranquil here, 

i sink

further 

deeper, deeper to serins in the seabed,

feeding off my demons inside my head

until i hear you shout through

thick ice —

 no, your screaming at me, 

pounding angry fists , 

"you have to 

listen to your heart, 

to save yourself, 

now do you want to learn 

how to swim or 

drown?"
