I don't know 
what I'm doing.
Going through 
the motions
I'm sinking
in your ocean
drowning
my soul pushed
and pulled apart
I want to tell you 
how I feel but I 
don't know
where to start.
God knows I could 
look at you all day
until the waters 
rise above and I'm 
totally submerged
in the misery
of being so in love.
Why can't I 
just have the 
sunshine
on my face and
you by my side?
Have I 
offended the Gods
Have I had 
too much pride?
But no, the rain 
will come and 
I will dog paddle
To keep my head 
above the water
Instead of telling 
you how I feel 
which I know 
I ought to.
