How many times I cried
How many times I begged
Don’t take me there
Not ever
I’ll do anything I swear
She glared at me with unfeeling eyes
As she always has
But in that moment
I just didn’t care
And waited for her to spare
She dragged me to the pool without a thought or care
The place where I had drowned before
And no one had been aware
I shudder as I remember what happened on that day
The water all around me choking my life away
She pushed me in the deep and walking away she said
“Try to go for good this time, and don’t come back again”
Silent tears slid down my face
Even though I knew
How foolish it was of me
To think that she wouldn’t go
I swam and swam
But tired at last
I sank down to the ground
Ready to die and accepting
That it was to be this way
I saw you waiting there
At the other end
Even though it wasn’t true
I still believe you were there
And you said
“Stay”
And I believed
In a better life and hope
I pulled myself out and walked away
No longer wanting that rope
