Drowning

There are times

When you’re holding me

Tightly to your chest

As you move inside me

When I wonder if this

Us together

Is like what drowning

Might feel like

Unable to take a breath

Teetering on the edge

Until we claw our way to the surface

Together gasping

Air rushing in

The feeling of having been

Knocking on Heaven’s door

Together

Alive together

Drowning in your eyes

Breathing you in

Knowing for certain

No doubt

That you are

The oxygen I breathe

And the only way

I ever want to die

Would be to drown

In our love
