Open Water

Thrown into the open water
With no one to guard my life
Freezing as ice, though fluid slashes around me
Not being able to see the bottom
To see what awaits me

Left with nothing but a name and pain
You gave me your pathetic problems
And I gave you my life jackets to bring you back to shore
Now I wished I had saved some for me
For this painful loneliness so I can swim to live.

But I am a fighter
As I swim your waves push me under
Tossing me around and bringing me down
Once, Twice, Three times
That's all it takes for me to give up

I would rather me be in the dark, then for you to have to see it.

Author's Note

Feeling very alone right now. I've been listening to a cover of Safe and Sound over and over again. Let me know what you guys think!

Thank you :)

A very painful situation to be in. Even with others around you feel lonely thus making it feel better to actually be alone where no one can hurt you. A very powerful poem, you did an outstanding jot on this.

[Heromen Selena]

Yeah exactly! That's my mind set most of the time. Thank you for your kind review.

[TawnyBlueStar]

definitely express loneliness.
I really like the second stanza :D
was "felt" meant to be "left"?
great poem :D

[Heromen Selena]

Yes! Thank you pointing it out to me. I was able to fix it a long time ago.
