LizardBallou in Poetry & Free Verse

Drown Me

I fall for you

And skin my knees,

Then lay at your feet

In the rain.

Icy water drenches

Everything I have laid bare

Before you

While you stand

Above me,

Dry under your

Umbrella.

As the water rises,

You tell me to

Lay on my back

So you can stand on my chest

To keep your feet

From getting wet.

I revel in the weight

But don't notice as

My lungs fill with water.

My body is wracked

With spasms as

I begin to suffocate;

As I am killed

by your

Indifference.
