Drowning
Sinking in an ocean
of salty tears
I go down
deeper
deeper
water over my crown
drowning
can't breath
please save me
sinking
sinking
drowning in broken love
my blood freezes
but my tears feel like fire
I gasp from the firey pain
water fills my lungs
the weight of heartbreak in my chest
burning
burning
I go numb
Choking on the water
the last bit of air escapes my lungs
and finally the pain disappears

Things That Make Me Want To Die
Not heartbreak or loss of a relationship, rather inescapable pain: a nuclear blast coming at me, actual drowning with no help possible, inside the trade towers during 911, plane about to crash...men, you get over them eventually and live. Interesting metaphorical manipulation - allets -
