i reached out to you today
tried to hand you the rope
that would save our love
from drowning in
our tears
you made me believe
that you grabbed the rope
and you were ready to
reach dry land
instead you pulled me into the water
and watched me drown
like a sick little puppy
i still called for you
but you just laughed and turned away
now our future is lifeless
and so am i
youre now walking free
on my old foot prints in the sand
and i hope with every step
you remember tonight
and hold your breath
i hope you stare into the salty water
praying to be greeted with my smile
but only to meet your true reflection
tonight my exboyfriend chose a sickening high over fixing us after i opened up to him and expected change.
