Drowning
there is a dull throb
in my chest
as if underwater with
the bubbles slowly trickling
from my mouth
and never quite audible
are these screams
lodged in my throat

there is a furious beat
in my head
as if claustraphobic and barred
by lock and chain
and made from my imagination
is this freedom that swells
every time you turn your head
when i tiptoe outside your door

i saw you crook your finger
and again i'm pulled down deep
into these dark waters of madness
and i cannot scream still
the undertow stole my final breath
until my heart drops slowly
to that dull throb
i started out with.
