An experimental, mathematical relationship.
DrowningI’m drowning…
Falling ever deeper
past the surface where
I can breathe.
Life,
Love,
dreams…
pulling me under,
overwhelming me,
lovingly holding
just below the surface.

“You know what?” she barked at me as I shut my laptop and set it on the cushion next to me. I turned to face the door and her, and I could see the rage in her eyes, but I stayed calm. If I got upset, it’d just end in both of us yelling.
“What?” I asked calmly, sliding my hands into my pockets as I tilted my head slightly to the side. I knew exactly what she was about to say, and she knew.
“You don’t even understand how hard it is for me to just go on pretending everything is okay,” she started as I slightly nodded for her to continue, “We need to talk about this.”
“What’s there to talk about?” I asked and shrugged my shoulders, making her eyes flare at me. I knew I was only making her mo
