Too sudden. Too real. Too much.
Too soon to fail and lose it all,
Too late to wake up and realize
I'm about to hit the wall.

Breath is coming quicker,
Lungs are caving in,
Maybe it's the heartache
This sinking room is drowning in.

Truth is dawning on me,
Desperate words crawl out my throat,
Pleas are a rocking ocean,
I'm trying to stay afloat.

I did not know that anything
Hurt this much and now,
Need a way to get you back,
I just don't know how.

I am scared you're gone for good
Because you say what you mean,
Two days have come and passed,
I still have not woken up from this dream.

Sometimes I think I was a better writer back then..
