Lick my lips
Cradle my face
Gaze into my eyes
And tell me I'm safe

I went for a swim
in a sea of emotions
the water enticed me
with its glistening beckon

but the water was thick
and down like a stone
I sank in the sea

growing more and more quiet
and still
and dark

as I drifted
deeper and deeper
into the sea.

thank god i can’t write good poetry
the best poetry comes from pain and hurt if you ask me
so although i can’t write like i used to
at least it means i’m doing alright

Months go by and it feels like a slideshow
Terrible nightmare that Sets a new low
I can’t escape it and all I truly want
Is to wake up and find you right beside me
