Drowning

Swimming in pools

Of uncertainty

Treading water

Of self doubt

I gave you my everything

Sacrificing myself

So you could see

How truly special

You are to me

But instead of a helping hand

Instead of a spot on your raft

You burn the ship I have given you

And dive beneath the waves

I struggle to save you

But you push me away

Saying I gave you a boat of lies

And that's why you set it afire

I try to explain

Try to make you see

That I am not lying

When I talk of your beauty

But you won't hear it

You are stuck

In your destructive beliefs

So instead of floating

Instead of trying

You give into the hateful waves

And let them carry you away

Down

Down

Down

Down

Never again

To see the light of day

Leaving me stranded

And alone

Not sure

How much longer

I can tread

These deadly waters

And it appears

I will soon join you

In utter defeat

As I tire

And water comes

Flooding in

As the ocean takes me

With you as well
