drowning

the cool water laps over my arms, my legs
spills into my eyes
the sun is shining just above the surface in its brilliant radiance
but i'm underneath, waves tugging me away
and i almost forget i'm drowing
because you're right above me, laced with golden light
your blue eyes still feel like home
and even though you'll be the death of me
it's so easy to forget
when your eyes meet mine
so calm, so serene
and yet dark, secretive
like the ocean,
pinning me down and stealing my breath
until none of it's left and i'm consumed
never to be seen again
