Ripples

in a pool like you
oh God
I knew
learning to live on more 
than fumes
attempting to convince myself
I'm not deprived 
yet I feel so tight
coiling at the middle
wound bound holding my breath
leaning too far over the edge
of this pond
can't see my reflection 
fish swim in my direction 
there was always going to be a come down
relief relief 
may you last this time
