The Allure of Drowning

This darkness

Tugs on my heartstrings

And pulls at my soul

Begging me

To come back

Home,

Luring me in

With the comfort of

A sadness so deep

I could drown for days

Months

Years

And never return.

Amazing write. You did

Amazing write. You did exactly what poets are supposed to do... Make tragic, ugly things more beautiful. I like your style. 


"It is a terrible thing to be so open. It is as if my heart put on a face and walked into the world" -- Sylvia Plath.

Thank you! I like that

Thank you! I like that quote...I always feel as if I am more sensitive to others, like I feel everything more deeply. It is a tragc thing to be so fragile.
