Love Poem: Draining

Draining

Around and around and around
The drain swirls everything down
 
It sucks up water
It sucks up emotion
 
It sucks up my life
And delivers to the ocean
 
You are the drain that
consumes my day
 
I'm going down; there I go,
Swirling away
 
Can't you leave just a little drop
I need something to hold onto,
I need something to stop
 
Nope. That's okay.
I'll just rust in these pipes
 
Maybe one day, I hope and I pray,
you'll get tired of watching me swirl away
