The Deep

My final poem about a girl i fell too hard and too fast for she is an amazing woman but couldn't swim as deep as me in fact this poem describes the whole relationship well. She was a dream come true but i became an unbearable nightmare because i held on t

You don't understand me you say
and yes i think that's true
you don't understand me you say
but no one feels as i do
i get so lost because i need to be found
and i think myself found in you
so as i drown in my need
i pull you down here too

i can't hear you not breathing
and it's not that i don't care
it's just that i'm wishing and wanting
for something that is not yet there
so down here in the deep
i dwell accustomed to feelings that scare
but i shouldn't expect you swim in this dark
because that wouldn't be fair

so i'll let go of your hand
and let you swim away
and i'll stay here in the deep
and here i'll wait
because someday when you find
that nothing is going your way
when no one understands you
and you feel alone and afraid

i'll be here in the deep
under a heart vast as the sea
where you're always welcome
and when you can finally breathe
and when you finally understand
that cherished you can be
you'll know why i feel as i do
because i see you in me
