Drowning
Two people, with same goal it seems.
Different perspectives, one misunderstanding.
It takes less than a day to lose someone,
Less than a day to wake up in reality.
I’m drowning in deep sea
Inch by inch, thoughts per thought.
Reached the peak of the darkness
And saw thousands of me, laughing
When I was getting crucified
For the sins I hadn't committed.
Quickly, I closed my eyes
To hide my scars to comfort myself
Then I saw you, with a sad profile.
Lurking around my emotions.
Till this second, I thought we were inseparable.
I have plenty of unanswered questions
Relived around my noggin.
I started to cry to the depths of the sea
You didn’t even try to see through me,
Yes, the real me.
At the end, I came up
With a conclusion,
We could’ve worked on ‘us’; Instead
We let the demons shatter us into hell.
The time has come to an end
With no chances for a comeback,
The thousand faces and you are gone now
But before going,
You looked at me with your eyes
And didn’t even say goodbye, face to face
For the last time.
It takes less than a day to lose someone.
Less than a day to wake up in reality.
I’m still drowning in deep sea
Inch by inch, thoughts per thought.
