Drowning Poem by Ariannah Hannah

Drowning

Rating: 4.2


I wish I knew what to say to you
I wish I knew what to do
I know it's stupid, I really do
But I can't help, I keep crawling back to you.
The way you tried
The way I ignored it
The way you cared
Annoyed, I avoided
To talk to you
But now I regret that too
And I can't help but think about you
Now my wishes would never come true
Cause I gave the wrong impression to you
And I tried to stop
But my heart wouldn't let me go through
The glass walls that keep me away from you
And my emotions
Would always look at me
Gossiping the toxic traits I try so hard to leave
And they come and go
But I'm always hostage in the same cage
Where jealousy keeps killing me and my days
So please forgive me and my ways
Of telling you to talk to me while saying it's safe
Cause it means nothing if I don't listen too
But I can't find my words to come and talk to you.
I've done you wrong, and I know that, too
I just wish I could come back
But instead, I keep on drowning,
Drowning in a bleeding wound
Whispering to myself how much I love you...

Congratulations on POD, dear poet. The narrator discerns that " I've done you wrong, and I know that, too " beautifully expressed
