Drowning

I’m stranded in a deep sea of my own tears,
Struggling to stay afloat,
The darkness tugging at me,
Barely holding on, ready to let go.
I see you from a distance,
You pretend you can’t hear me,
As I beg and plead for help,
You walk away and leave me,
I’m losing hope, I’m weary,
I look up and see you again,
You’re holding a lifesaver,
But you won’t throw it in,
My arms are too tired,
My legs so weak,
My heart full of sadness,
I just want to sleep,
As I slowly start to sink,
I see your face once again,
“Please just throw me the raft,
You don’t have to pull me in.”
