Drowning

I plunged with a big jump

Carefree and child like

And now I’m drowning in deep water

Drifting in your lingo

You’re telling me but my mind can’t hear

Or maybe my head

Or is it my heart

That is too afraid to translate

I listen harder

Trying to figure

But I’m down here under

And the water is too murky

Is it joy that you feel when we talk

Perhaps you’re simply bewildered and clueless

Or have you hardened your heart to end us

Was there ever even an us

I’m lost dear and shivering cold

Sinking rapidly but I let it

Curled up and washes away all questions

Hoping to be numb forever
