I followed him,
Into deep waters,
I dove,
Head first,
In love,
Fully immersed.
  
I thought he'd be my saviour,
But,
When I started drowning,
I realised,
He was the anchor.

Wrapped up in unrequited love,
I’m sorry that I was never good enough.

Words,
They could never hurt,
They could never cut,
They could never make you bleed,
Physically.

Words,
A manifestation of self-hate,
Written in bold,
Anorexia, Bulimia, Depression,
I was sold.

Words,
The last,
Written on a bloodstained note,
"I can't stay afloat"

City lights,
Views,
Sunday Blues.

Coffee,
Sunsets,
Can we reset?

Long drives,
Kisses,
Left me in pieces.

He awakened my eyes to an unrivalled love,
Insomnia grips me,
I stare at him,
Lovingly,
Intoxicated by his very being.
In that moment,
I never thought I'd ever have to watch him,
leaving.

Let’s run away?

I loved you.
