You went on your fishing trip
Caught a big one this time,
You said.
*This one's a bit heavy,
Weighed down.*
With a sharp tug on the pole,
You finally retrieved your catch.
Well, what is it?,
You asked.
You held something in your hand
Pulsing and black.
*Whatever it is,
It's not worth it.*
You threw it back into the water,
Back into the dark depths.
*Let's keep on fishing.
I wanna catch a big bass.*
They say there's plenty of fish in the sea
But you didn't even notice,
When you caught my heart.
Sure,
It was beaten
Almost unrecognizable.
But it only took you a second,
To judge my darkness
As impairment,
And toss me back to a personal hell
You reeled in my heart,
And you didn't even know.
I'm sorry I can't be
The catch of the day.
