We stood together, overlooking the water
Trusting you I jumped in with both feet
Unafraid to be sucked in by the whirlpool that was your promises
Excited to be moved by the current that was your laugh
And letting the riptide that was your smile pull me in
You attached an anchor to my heart
Leaving me grounded in an ocean of my own obliviousness
I sat there
Naive and silly
Unprepared for the tsunami that would soon follow
Huge waves crashed over my head
I couldn’t breathe
Completely immersed in a sea of broken promises, lies and pain
Continuing to be sucked in like the unfortunate beach chairs that weren’t moved fast enough
I was drowning
The undertow of our broken relationship pulled me in deeper
Unable to bring myself to the surface that was the truth
And breath the air that was reality
I struggled
Gasping for air
I continued to suffocate
My senses flooded by your hallow promises
I was trapped
Drowning Drowning Drowning
Until I sank to the bottom
