Rescue Me

I'm drowning
resentment has liquified
loosened, dripping into my lungs
filling my chest with
thick oily regret
covering me
suspending me in this
pool of anger

I'm worried, scared
Cause I'm silently suffocating
quietly relenting to the
ebb and flow of life and its
blatant disregard
for me

I'm here
didn't want to put you
in an awkward space
but you alone can
renew me
relieve me
release me
if only temporarily
will you be my reed that
breaks through the glassy surface
my straw of breath
a private life line
just for today
tonite
right now
can you rescue me?
