All The Way Down

I just don't want to hurt you. 
There is so much going through my mind.
All the feelings drown me, 
The waves hit me and knock me down. 
Down.
All the way down, 
Until my face is in the sand and I can't breathe. 
I just don't want to hurt you. 
But as my lungs fill with salty water
I'm just left with my thoughts. 
Thoughts I could never tell you. 
So I write them instead.
I just don't want to hunt you. 
It's as simple as that. 
Even though my throat stings as the sandy water fills it, 
And the pressure inside me grows. 
I just don't to hurt you. 
So I lay.
Allowing the waves to pull me under. 
So far down.
Down.
All the way down. 
I feel the growing pressure. 
Almost enough to crack my skull, 
Allowing all my thoughts to spill out.
But you always pull me out. 
Im very grateful, 
But I still feel like I'm hurting you, 
Because in the end, 
I created the oceans that drown me.
They are filled with all the mistakes I make, 
All the things I do that hurt you,
But yet, 
You save me.
Sometimes I wish you didnt save me. 
That you would let me drown in my thoughts, 
Let the pressure build up until I pop. 
Just as long as my thoughts don't spill out,
And I don't hurt you.
