Quench My Thirst.

Now you’re in dark waters, Tried to be the puppet master to my mind. I don’t know why you even bothered, I’ve just been trying to live my life. You should have seen there’s no strings on my shoulders. All is ruined, all that we had. My heart is still warm it hasn’t grown colder. Lucky for you I never fell into your trap. I see you drowning in the water. There’s no revenge in me so I will act quick. Just let me know when your feet touch bottom. I will help you out and come take a sip. I see you in panic mode, your mind is lost. So I will come and quench my thirst. This is what you get for trying to control my river of thoughts. Yet sadly you’re not the first. Everything I have inside me, Is the love and emotion that I feel. You tried to manipulate and grab it all. It was never yours and yet you tried to steal. Now you’re looking for the shoreline, That is where you will see me. Just try and live your own life. When you learn that you can put dry ground under your feet. I never wanted things to end up this way. I only hope there’s something you have learned. Trying to control me is a game you don’t want to play. You will be in dark water with the only guarantee of not getting burned.
