Drowning
i hold my neck someone anyone come save me
i see hands but they don't reach for me
im sinking
sinking
sinking
until im depths beneath the water
my eyes start to close every things going blurry
my hands are turning white
my throat is burning
burning
burning
i cant take it ready to just let go
but i cant its just
holds me and makes me suffer
as i float down more
my nose starts bleeding
bleeding
bleeding
theres nothing i can do
wont you help me
you helped me all those other times
but its to late for apologies now
as i let myself go as i see my body floating beneath
me
i feel soft warm lips on mine
i spit up water and look up
looking in those chocolate brown
color and then i realize you were never mine to begin with
