you know,
i've always had a fear
of being alone in the middle
of the wide open waters.

no one to turn to
and no one to save you.

yelling and crying,
gasping for air.

you keep kicking your feet
and waving your arms
telling yourself that
everything will be okay

but you know, deep down,
that the time will come when you can't
hold yourself up any longer.

you'll be
sinking and sinking
and sinking

as everything
gets darker and darker
and darker.

yet

your eyes
are as blue as the ocean

and i'm lost at sea.

help me,
*i think i'm drowning.
