Something

I wanna jump into this water. 
Ice cold as can be. 
I wanna fight to breathe against it. 
Until I hit the bottom of this sea. 
Wanting the oxygen, that I've fought to lose so bad. 
Fighting to reach the top, more then I ever have. 
I feel lost in this blackness, choking against the pain. 
My heart beating to fast. 
Trying to find a flame. 
Something to live for, something like you. 
A heat and warmth. 
Something thats finally true.
