Swimming with the fishes
I watched as everyone fell into the facade
Blinded by the show
They made you trip and peppered you in arrows
Ripped out your guts
and when you thought it was enough
they cursed you to the
worst and they drowned you
Consumed you and crowned you
a fool
Reduced to memories a ghost or ghoul
The beast took greedily
Fleetingly lasted
In past
It broke and stomped chocked and trashed
I sweared it wouldn’t fall victim
And then I tripped right to em
And I fell into the kill of fake bliss
The arsenic kiss
Drowned in perfume
Doomed red lips
Eclipse of personality
Falling victim to the fatality of love
I couldn’t shove away the fear of it pulling me down in the palms of those delicate hands
Suffocatingly wrapped with premade plans
Stayed slave to butterflies
Shaving away chains
Diving breaking free
Flailing silent screams
Glittering above the streams of light as a reminder of euphoria
Before ya
Crammed my mind in this muck
Fought weighed down by broken luck
Unspoken horrors pulled me under
The cold made me shudder
And another
heart went cold
I thought I was in control
Guarded with walls
Wouldn’t be pulled down
but I lose and
my wish is
for you to know
to avoid how I was found
swimming with the fishes

Did you fall in love or did you trip into a mess? Did it consume you? Did it attack your stomach and invade your mind? Did you find who you used to be before it or is it also swimming with the fishes?
