The First To Drown
The Earth isn't dying—no, she's screaming, a sound you've stopped hearing. she cried when girls walked miles for rusted, tainted water, when ancient forests become forgotten, ash–filled pyres, no worn map ever dared to mark. In my homeland, we don't fear the tempest's furious might.  We fear the silence – The hollow echo of empty, cracked wells,  the desolate stretch of barren,...

In Water Dark
Image : 3 In water dark, I learn to drown A silence colder than the sea The ghosts I fled still pull me up In water dark He haunts the edge where I should be A memory I never chose Still carves his name inside of me He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare Each time I hide, he leaves a mark I bleed unseen...

Drown With Me
Drown With Me The world is full of judgment. All eyes are on us. No matter what we do, it’s wrong to others. They should look in the mirror as it shatters. We can escape to a place far away. Out in the country someday. A journey into the unknown. A place where no one...

Premium Member In a field of bitter thoughts, where sunrises drown in shadows of silence
In a field of bitter thoughts, where sunrises drown in shadows of silence, We are often surrounded by faces sculpted from the clay of boredom, Heavy heads like potatoes forgotten in the barren soil of banality, Perched on shoulders wearing suits of shadows, tasteless, lifeless, And their lives slip through like a thin thread of sand in the hourglass...

Drown Me
The swirling deep blue of the water before my pained eyes, Reminding me who I am, You stand next to me, A single tear rolling down your porcelain face, Glistening as it falls, The water below the cliff catches it happily, For it feeds on sadness, Woe only causes it to prosper, Causes it to grow, You face...

Drown
Sinking, lost, into the dark blue Unknown abyss rises, without a clue Panic rising, heart is pounding Terror reigning, no sounding Gasping, choking, lungs burn to ashes Waves crash down, throat closes in dashes Bathed in green despair, sinking blind No longer here, a watery shrine Fading slow, I let it all go A final farewell, as my life ebbs low Drowning feeling, a last...

Your car is not a boat You can’t float to town Turn around don’t drown The inclement weather is a pain Trying to drive in floods and rain Don’t lose your life being vain...

Sea I am inherently patient, I just go with the flow. I have many dark secrets, No one will ever know. Sometimes I can be shallow, Sometimes I'm dark and deep. When you look at me closely Your face is what you'll see. I do not have a sweet side, I am saltier than most. Some say that I am frigid, As cold as a...

Don't Let Our Love Drown
This day shouldn't be so bleak Find some strength- don't be so weak We can work it out if you Let me in I'll see you through Whatever the days will bring Our love can get by anything I promise we will not fail We won't sink, our love will sail Through the stormiest of seas Holding on tight is the key Don't let go...

Ascension Day
We sat within the murky depths; belief just gripped belief's belief. But now we're up, we rise, rise, rise. Our stay there had been not too brief. But now we know our notions were a world once served by gods and heroes, something that was needed then, but now we thrive on ones and zeros. It’s such a welcome cheerful breath! For now we've...

Thoughts drifting through my mind Memories that make me blind To what I have in life today They pull me in and I fade away Back to a time that has long past I retreat to the child who's future seemed cast By others actions unable to...

In This River We Drown In Light
In this river we drown in light A doorway blocked from me Yet open to dry eyes I can only hear your hands Clutching that splintered wood as water Rushes to ears like war I cry at the notion Of you stepping through that white door Frame as you sip whiskey In the next room over from me Tv mumbling comforts...

Let Drown
Upon the dusk’s cruel wake, crushed beneath the waters’ break I allow my body limp and lifeless to flow as if mere current passing Never do my limbs grasp the shallows for their hopeless sake And as for the question of “why?” I have grown tired of asking. From the depths, I hear the ocean’s bellow Her stomach grumbles as...
