Silently Drowning

by Baby Rainbow   Jul 20, 2018




I can't believe that a love which felt so strong,
so alive like nothing else matters,
can suddenly choose to die.

How small it must have been
for the flame to blow out so silently.

What ever happened to loving each other
all the way to the moon and then back again?
I must have been out of my mind
for allowing myself to become trapped
in a love so deep in the dark,
that it was drowning me from the start.

I guess I just thought that no matter what,
you would never actually let me drown,
that you would somehow save me from myself.

I never thought I would be begging you
to be saving me from the drowning of us.

I never thought you would be the reason
for water filling up my lungs,
and your name gurgling through every last attempt
of begging you to come back and save me
before I drown.
