wrote something original again #poetry warning for #violence imagery and maybe #horror imagery depending on how you interpret this within these walls, i cannot escape your sight, your hold, your breath on my neck. you’re everywhere, dense as a fog in how you surround my very being, suffocating me and filling my lungs. the fog turns to liquid, i find myself swimming within your endlessness, struggling to stay afloat within your everything. your hair, your eyes, your smile, your fangs, your horns, the way you’re vile. i stop swimming, unable to uphold my struggle. floating within you, resting within what was *once* you. the you i loved, the you i despised, the you i struggled in, the you i drowned in, the you who choked me. it’s always been you, it will always be you. i close my eyes, surrendering to the murky depths in which i sink, though i find my lungs no longer struggle. i don’t beg for air, i don’t trash for escape. instead, i simply am, as you once were. the you i loved, the you i desired, the you who held me and in turn was held. the you who whispered words of softness. i existed within you, just as you exist within me. though i can’t escape, maybe, if i follow the current, we’ll both be at peace.
