Sink or swim

Sink or swim

A Poem by KatieMarie Eklund

I miss you

I miss you when I'm far to sad,
And I am far too sober to let anyone know that I need them.
I miss you when I pretend that I am wholesome.

I miss you when I look at this boy and hope to fall in love with him,
If only to get the taste of you out of my mouth.

I miss never going to museums with you,
and drinking wine we never tasted.
I miss every meal
I never had with you.

I miss looking into your eyes,
And feeling absolutely empty.
I could feel yours drilling a hole to the very back of my skull and I knew that mine were not doing the same.

You knew it too, I could tell.
And with each embrace you tried to pull me closer, but all I felt was you pulling me under.

And everyone knows that I never learned to swim.
