What Drowning Feels Like

By Rishimaa Dave

Like how he loved me

For if he was the ocean,

 I would willingly drown

till his love consumed me inside and out.

For I willingly drowned in a tempted ocean, 

Till his rage consumed me inside and out

Till it threw onto the helpless shore,

a skeleton of despair,

washed up in a loveless affair

A box, coated gold in the name of love, 

Turned to be as Pandora's,

For if I'd known what it beholds

I wouldn't have set foot in water

The more breathless I'd feel the deeper I'd dive,

in search of love that I didn't even know if I'd find

Wave after wave, sea after sea,

This endless love ended me
