Inspired by the song Drowned World/ Substitute for Love by Madonna.
Filling up my mind like an overflowing bathtub
the faucet won't turn off and the water just keeps
on and on raining, waves wash over the tiles and the floor.
Breathe in; tear ducts empty tears that had been gathering for a long time,
All my worries, fears, and problems rush my mind
hearing the words just pauses everything around me
letting the world go on but sticks me in the past.
I just wish her voice caressing my ears didn't make me wish
things could be different about love.
Crecendo into a fit of notes blending together fast and even faster
Rivers of water swamping my makeup over the white sheet
I close my eyes and picture myself just moving away,
picking up my feet and never stopping.
Then my eyes open and I look up...
Everything just sort of gets really silent and even quieter,
the last musical waves that look like a drop of water falling into a stream
playing this part means the end is nearing,
Thinking to myself that this song gives me my sign
that large stop in the path to death.
Staring straight ahead never deviating from my answer,
that answer is the key
I have to become...
Just
me.
