Flooding

You cut me open
Entered my heart and sliced me like warm butter
It felt good at the time
But I've been bleeding this love for you all over the floor
What a mess it's made of my life
I'm trying to mop up the red that I see
But it just keeps spilling out again
These buckets of tears are overflowing
As I slosh spongy regrets across the floor
Seeping through, the floorboards like a sieve
To the stories below
An ocean of red and salty grief fills this leaky house
The windows are darkening
I can't unlock the door
Higher and higher
Swimming in sweet memories of you
That push their watery way back into the wound you left
Through the gap, into my lungs
And with my last gasping breath
I will sputter your name
Pressing my lips to the ceiling for air
Panic and pain now tighter than ever before
But after drowning, I wont' hurt anymore
