I know this is long, but that's because I was venting through paper and pencil last night and once I started, I couldn't stop
Drowning
Im terribly sorry that this is all I have to offer
And for becoming tangled in this upsetting knot
All I ever wanted was your love
But youre clearly so consumed by your ego that you forgot
Even after all the affection and romance I soughtt
I only desired
I only thought
It would all work out in the end
I tried so hard
Facing reality is a tough trend
Happily ever after is a hardcore lie
Fixing my wings is not enough to make me fly
Teen down
Flailing, frustrated
But let her rest, this is her moment
Leave her in distress
Her own agreement, her own fate
This is only an argument with herself
Please, just wait
Wait
It can be difficult to view this girls pain
Her heart thumping with a gash as deep as the waters shes trying to wade out of
Getting sucked back in with every stroke
Until she lets herself drown
And choking on waves, gasping for breath
She knows the decision is get over him or suffer her emotional death
Her legs kick
She starts to swim
But its still clear how much agony shes in
Her pale tears dripping into the ocean
Her sobs are horribly echoing
And swimming away from him
Is simply heartbreaking
She tried
She had the chance
But he refused
So close to her dream
But let the boy choose
His decision is terrible
But he wanted to lose
Because Im generous, Ill split the blame
Half and half is my farthest game
My daydreams smashed to the ground
You let me break bones
Why is your image so captivating even as Im swimming away?
Im devoured
Im thrashing
Ive still got a chance
No sweetie, stay out of this,
Youre too stupid to advance
Im sorry I love you
And that you love me too
But my heart cant take it
Your apologys overdue
But I tried
Ill go with your plans
Ill swim
No sweat
Just as long as you also get wet
Proof shown by the back-stroking brunette
The vibrant violet on her bikini
I hope you soak up the regret
And all I can say is
I tried
Maybe too hard, but you didnt deserve less
You mean a lot to me
But you didnt confess
So I have to be strong
Please remember me from all the permanent graffiti
Remember our moments
Remember me, sweetie
And floating to shore, I still cry
I still mutter, sputter,
"Baby, I tried."
