                                      w
              ­                           ning
in the depth of love
you used to offer me

throw me a saviour
anything to even just
keep me afloat

because I am sinking
in the sorrow you left
me with, tears f

opening my heart
my soul and more
left me an open target

shot down I am
dying a slow death
bleeding out

call me an *******
an attention *****
a selfish *****

for missing what I
at one time held
so tightly to this chest.
