in your mind, the ocean,

in your mind, the ocean,

A Poem by shane

 

I watched you fall, I tried to follow

I watched you hit the water below

I watched you sink

Sink down under swallowing too much too cope

I dived in after you; I tried to reach the depths

You’ve dropped too fast

I swam as far as I could

But you’re falling too fast for me

 

I got you by the hand I tried to get you out

I tried so hard I nearly died myself

It hurts so much to see you down here

I got you so close but you stopped moving

I tried to hold but my lungs were bursting

I pulled you close and kissed you goodbye

 

It was like a car crash it all happened so fast

One moment we were laughing

The next you were falling fast

I was here the whole time

Why didn’t you ask me for help?

Why didn’t you hold me if you knew you were slipping

 

I got you by the hand I tried to get you out

I tried so hard I nearly died myself

It hurts so much to see you down here

I got you so close but you stopped moving

I tried to hold but my lungs were bursting

I pulled you close and kissed you goodbye

 

I'll take on the world for you

For your memory

For the times we’ll never have again

I'll take on the gods for you

If it means I can bring you back

I know I believe in fate

But it wasn’t your time

It all happened too fast

I'll take my own life for you

If it we’ll be back together

Oh how sweet..
Like a crash it happened fast,one moment we laughed the next you were falling fast
I was there all the time,why did you ask,that you were falling
tried to get you out ,tried so hard I nearly died
hurts so much to see you falling
was so close to get you out
and I pulled you close
and kissed goodbye
