Are you aware of how comfortably
You lay in my arms,
After you’d drowned in a thousand tears
And I’d told you that I understood;
There were days I couldn’t even breathe?
And do you realise how soundly
You slept next to me,
The blood drying on your fragile skin,
After I told you that there were times
I didn’t want to go on living?
It scares me when I notice
How the sea,
With its warm arms
And soft blankets of water,
Would hold me in the same way
How comfortably it would take me,
Engulf me
Save me
Save me
And it terrifies me
How after all this time
The trying and the waiting and the tears
The screaming and the pain and the silence
I wouldn’t even try
To stay afloat.
