GLASS IN WATER

I am glass

Your love is my water

It submerges my heart

I drown

I can’t sip it

I can only swallow it

Gulp! Gulp!

It surrounds my every being

I’m helplessly drowning

I wish I could float

But I’m sinking

I’m so scared I’ll bloat

The clear blue waters of this love is intriguing

They say love is blind but I can see

I see blue

I see you

I can see through

It is oh so beautiful!

Your touch is so warm unlike the temperature of your love

Your touch…Your love

You are like two separate beings

But from one loving soul

You emit different flavours

Different traits

Different colours

Your love leaves me uncertain

Sometimes I get confused

Yet I still love you

I still get intoxicated

I still drown

Sinking daily

Losing control of me

Drowning deeper

Not seeing the ground

Teach me to thread carefully

Teach me to swim

Teach me not to break

Cos my being is made of glass

And once I hit the ground

I’ll shatter

I’m the glass in your water
