you turn to me but i'm not there i'm drowning i told you but you couldn't listen the thoughts won't make sense none are clear they're surrounding encompassing and unnerving if i take one last breath would you notice the body folded neatly lying under the baggage you placed on my back i can no longer support myself but you won't take the load stuck inside your head and i'm stuck with you if i stop speaking i'll stop breathing so i'll carry on until my fingers are shaking too much from lack of oxygen or sometimes too much i can hear my breathing speeding up faster ready to take off and fly away with what's left of my soul and spirit that you didn't crush still going as i recognise the dizzy daze i'm falling into waiting to collapse in on myself for maybe the last time for a while at least we both know it won't happen because of you i couldn't however much you argue and scream and shout or maybe it's because of her calming my mind ok i have to stop now i told you it would get too much once again i say i'm sorry remember me or the old me if you can it wasn't your fault
