With you, the ground felt solid
like I could pull myself from
this flooding basement, for good.
Skin drenched,
slippery shaking freezing skin.
You stretched your hands out,
held me till I grew warm.
The waves swelled
the surface grew rough.
With my finger tied to yours
you cut them loose,
left me to drown in myself.
How silly of me-
to think that I could flourish
in someone else's chest
when I can't stand
being trapped in my own.
Silly, silly, stupid girl.
You will always be alone.
