Under Water
By: Jayce Elliot
I can’t seem to breathe when I’m around you
I guess that’s just a perk of falling for someone so deeply
That your whole world starts to fill up with water
And you’re drowning but you don’t fight it you’re just too tired
Tired of living in a world that isn’t truthfully yours
Surrounding yourself with an empty suitcase and nowhere to go
Knowing you’re bad for me isn’t enough to convince me to let go
My grasp on you is tighter than my heart attached to my chest
And that’s not even what scares me most of all
The fact that you love me too is honestly what shatters me
I’m like glass and everything you do is bubbly
The sound of everything else around me is fogged your voice is the only sound I can hear
Canceling everything and everyone out the moment you walked into my messy life
Your a weapon and I try so hard to fight the urge to care but I can’t
You set something off in me that I didn’t even know was there
And you drive me insane
Even just standing next to you for too long is hard to control
I can’t help coming back for more when I’m fully aware you’re my poison
Every time I glimpse the sight of your face I know that you’ll be the end of me
And that someday I’ll drown and you won’t be there to make me fight and I’ll stay underwater forever and you won’t even think twice
