April [fools] In Love... Poem by Alicia Wood

Just as the suffocating black water threatened to drag me under....[limbs go dead mobility is lost stars dance lazily before my hopeless eyes as a raging fire burns miraculously inside my lungs, the water pulls me down, tosses me around like an abandoned doll, it invades my body, pushing itself into my lungs and stealing the last of my precious oxygen. I let out one last, desperate gasp for air and pray for forgiveness, but instead of death] the sun greets me. I resurface, and feel the sweet beautiful air fill my lungs. I meet the land with conspicuous joy and thank God for letting me see his face one last time. My true love has rescued me from the cruel water and resurrected my heart for that I owe him my life. [I love him]
