Drowning

Drowning in thoughts
Provoked by every emotion
You caused in me
Was like attempting
To swim in the ocean 
When you don't know how.

The insecurity and fear
Would crash over head 
Like a wave 
Trying to push me down
Then the love and happiness 
Would give air 
To my watered lungs
Just as doubt would hit
Like a cramp causing 
Me to sink a little further 
And finally bliss
So shorty lived
As the image of you 
You're smile 
Your kiss 
Filling my shaking bones
With warmth.
