DROWN  TO FORGET

(Disclaimer : This isn't poetry, this is poetic and tragic)

 

 

Getting drunk wasn’t enough to forget you,

​

You were still there,

 

Beating inside my chest,

​

Flowing through my veins,

 

Haunting my mind...

 

It almost felt like I wasn’t myself anymore.

​

So I just thought that maybe,

 

If I let myself drown,

 

I could finally forget you. 

​

And as I slowly stopped breathing,

 

The scent of your perfume also started fading away.

 

Breathless and numb, I was lifeless

 

And you were finally gone.

 

And somehow, reaching the bottom made me feel alive.
