How many times I cried How many times I begged Don’t take me there Not ever I’ll do anything I swear She glared at me with unfeeling eyes As she always has But in that moment I just didn’t care And waited for her to spare She dragged me to the pool without a thought or care The place where I had drowned before And no one had been aware I shudder as I remember what happened on that day The water all around me choking my life away She pushed me in the deep and walking away she said “Try to go for good this time, and don’t come back again” Silent tears slid down my face Even though I knew How foolish it was of me To think that she wouldn’t go I swam and swam But tired at last I sank down to the ground Ready to die and accepting That it was to be this way I saw you waiting there At the other end Even though it wasn’t true I still believe you were there And you said “Stay” And I believed In a better life and hope I pulled myself out and walked away No longer wanting that rope
