Poetry: Describe a Desperate Love
Describe a moment in which love felt uncertain, suffocating and so dire that it brought you or the character to a panic.
Current
Drown me
wash my sins
in the waves formed
from neglect, the
drip, drip, dripping
from smiles gone askew
I thirst
for icy water
that closes my throat
but demands each hair
stand on its end,
ready to be touched
I thrash
along the waves
catching glimpses
of sandy beaches
trying to remember
what it's like to be ashore
