Drowning
the thought of you is suffocating
but exhilarating.
I'm gasping for air
but there is no oxygen
and that won't stop me from diving deeper.
You continue to take my breathe away
and I won't stop
until it kills me.
Thoughts try to escape the prison walls of my mind.
Lingering through my fingers,
And wanting to dance across the paper I scribble on.
They try to express the words that have always gotten stuck on the tip of my tongue.
I can't help but stutter when I try to explain the way I wonder,
The way my mind can race threw thoughts
And I just remain silent.
Silent to all who may care
And silent to all who may hurt me.
My fingers are growing tired of writing about you.
Reliving our past will not bring it back,
The mistakes aren't going to just disappear
And I refuse to fight for the good times when I know you wouldn't do the same.
I don't regret our laughs,
Our talks,
The first time our lips met.
I regret how fast I fell for you charm,
And how I believed every single word you spoke.
I will never make the mistake of falling,
again.
I'm selfish
I can't bare to see you in the arms of another
I'm selfish
I crave the taste of your tongue
I'm selfish
I need your arms wrapped around me tight
I'm selfish
I hold you back from what you could become
I'm selfish
I won't let this end
I'm sorry
I'm too selfish to let you move on.
