Literal State of Mind

In the literal state of mind, I mind as well be dead.

In the literal state of being, I drown in your words.

In the literal state of loving, you're the one I want the most.

In the literal state of the past,

I should be dead,

Should've drown,

Never had a thing to live for.

There was always a new low to stoop down to,

Another floor that follows.

My wrists have cried tears of red,

They never seem to stop.

There has never been a reason to push forward and grasp the following breath,

It's just another chore waiting to be cut short.

But in the literal state of now;

I want to live,

Drowning in anything besides your eyes sounds displeasing and beyond absurd,

And I still want you around.

I just figured that in the literal state of my mind,

You've changed me for the better and I just like the now of being with you.
