You look like you're drowning I told her
She looks like she'd walked through a thousand rainstorms
and she still couldn't find her way
She said "my heart hurts"
and when I heard the words spill from her pale lips
I could finally see; that girl that looks like she's drowning
that girl is me.
So I took a breath and I said in a whisper
"I'm no longer treading water"

You used to tell me that I spoke beautifully
but maybe it was just the words that I wrote down at 4am
because those 4am nights were seemingly becoming a thing
and I needed time to process you
and do all I could to put you on paper
so I said that you fit me nicely.
But since then I haven't heard from you much
and it seems that you've taken my beautiful words
and turned them into the ground and planted yourself a future
and you've given yourself hope that maybe you'll hold something beautiful someday.
But rainy days pass
and you've hidden your sun away
and I'm starting to think that I might not be a part of your beautiful future
so I won't suffocate you with the words you've stolen from my tongue
cause I can still taste them on my lips
inches from where yours used to be when you told me
you'd stay forever.
