The Drowning Of Love Poem by Susan Lacovara

The Drowning Of Love

Rating: 5.0


Were it not for the cold hard telling of
unimaginable truths
I would have stayed in the steady stream
of you holding onto me
In the river ripples of broken promises
Failed attempts and almost theres

I knew I would be in over my head
And yet, you coaxed me from my shore
I knew I was not strong enough a swimmer
And still I waded in
To waters welled deep and murky

You saw my struggle to stay afloat
Yet continued further from my outstretched hand
Unconcerned that currents could carry me away
You barely glanced back
And down, down, down
The drowning of love....

You penned the flooding of the mind, body and soul to a love unreciprocated well. I like your writing very much. I'm new here. It's nice to meet you.
