My First Poem

Drowning by Debra Bergquist
September 15th, 2009

I am drowning,
the air is leaving,
and my world is spinning.
My heart is racing,
and my head is aching.
The water fills my lungs,
and I see your face.
I reach for you,
but you just go away.
I flash to the time where you made me unexplainably happy,
and you don't even know.
I think I gave you my heart that day,
but yet, you kept walking away.
I know you love her,
but did she ever love you?
Your heart is aching,
and mine is too.
I want you to be happy,
And I think I've sacrificed mine.
Why can't you see?
I am drowning.
The air is leaving.
My world is spinning.
My heart is racing.
My head is aching.
I slip under the water,
and cry out your name.
You are gone.
And I am too.
I wake up,
it was just a dream.
Just a vivid, heart breaking dream.
When will you realize I am waiting?
