drowning

i can't breathe anymore

i've been replaced by something more

not an essential at all

just the person you became because of this "call"

a drive to change yourself

an experiment in which you lose all self wealth

you tried something new

and there's nothing wrong with being ready to

no matter how hard you try

you can't forever live this lie

come back to me, just take a break

you can't forever live off of this stake

see this mirror? see what you've become?

a beast in which my heart wants to run

i know it's not you, but you've lost your desire

i no longer see in your heart that fire

it seems like now we no longer fit

and i'm really tired of this bit

come back to your senses

you need to stop jumping these fences

you trial your life and to seal your own fate

is really hard to understand by someone who isn't at that state

to gasp for help is better than to sink

in the pool of life which is the link

did you ever come to guide me?

or were you only there to deny me?

when things got hard you pushed me away

now you lay on your back today

no wind is left in your skin and bones

you have left our world; you are now alone

"i can't breathe! i can't breathe!" i wish you would say

but all you do is sit, and hope your life might stay

"take my hand and lead me through" i wish you would cry

but now all you do is sit there and die

"im lost! take my hand! i dont know where to go!"

and yet even now, i don't even know

a lost cause, i dared even to say

but the more i weep the more i'm amazed

if i thought it would help i'd cry even more

but i left all my tears when i walked out the door

now all i have is this heart ripping pain

cause i'm watching my love drown under the rain

it's like watching a wave take you down

you no longer are around

i call; you answer; but no words are said

we just sit and think of this dread

cry out to me,  just show you're a person

cause now you act like you aren't for no good reason

sit back, relax, just let me in

i can't help you out if you push me away again

you see nothing's wrong. you're blind with open eyes

and the more you drown the more i try to get you to realize

just as you are drowning right next to me

i am giving you my hand, but you can't see

your eyes are too full of fog for sight

i just wish i could say it will be alright

i want you to see the simplicity

but all you know is complicity

you make it harder than it needs to be

and yet you call me the drama queen

i can't bare to watch you fall under the sea

so please, just stop your drowning. please.

You really show great emotion and pain very raw. I can feel the struggle and misery. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Its really amazing how much you can put into one poem.. well, this is more of an "epic" poem, not necessarily because of the length, more like the sheer amount of emotion.. Great work :D looking forward to more
