Breathe

Crashing,
The waves come over my head
I don’t think I will make it
Push, push, kick, kick, swim, swim, Bre…

You are the one
Who is supposed to save me
Yet you are the reason I drown
Push, push, kick, kick, swim, swim, Bre…

My limbs grow heavy
Too tired for me to move
I won’t make it
Push, push, kick, kick, swim, swim, Bre…

A rope hits my shoulder
I grasp it tightly
Clinging to it for life
Kick, kick, swim, swim, stretch, stretch, Breathe

I am told to sit and wait
For me you will come
Love for me you have
Down goes the sun

Day turns to night
Night turns to day
Alone I sit
Down goes my love

So much air around me
Yet none can fill my lungs
I am bereft, left abandoned
Bre…
