I gasp for air
A short moment of respite
A lack of despair
One second before I submerge
Before the water fills my lungs
Suffocating me
Clarity
Close enough to feel Death
I drown in your green eyes
As green as the foaming sea
As green as the waves pulling me down
As green as my jealous heart
dragging me below
away from your illustrious gaze
Is it hope that binds me?
Or is it despair?
For I cannot tell
I want to release my heart
Float to the surface
And swim away
But Love is stronger than Life
And my ropes are bonds of Love
I am a teenage English poet/writer living in Croatia as of now, and I would like to share with you one of the poems I wrote lately which deals with the idea that you can escape the place you live in, while at the same time it means leaving someone you love.
Thanks for reading!
