Weightless
Weightless;
the only source of light is a
icy, wintergreen candle
flickering warm bits of
light in a dark, hidden corner.
Weightless;
you feel your slick body sink
under the water as if
you were a droplet falling,
melting into a flame.
Weightless;
the aroma filling your
lungs like smoke.
Watching the essence and
heat of the water turn to steam,
hovering and dancing and
twirling over the calm water.
Weightless;
mind empty, everything
adrift.
Reflections cover your body,
taking over your image.
Weightless;
the light glistens off the still
water,
tracing the outlines of your curves.
It glows as it shows every
water droplet running down
your helpless, limp body.
Weightless;
you close your dreary eyes
taking in a deep, sweet breath.
Weightless;
feeling your body relax more
and more,
sinking more and more.
Weightless;
still water slowly engulfs
your scarred skin, soaking
into your damned bones.
Weightless;
letting your broke, damaged
heart
leak into the water
around you
as you fight the salty tears.
Weightless;
telling yourself to not
go under forever.
