Drowning
I could feel myself drowningI stretched and called for help but no one saw.
I was too far underBut when you came out,
On your boat built of love,
You saw.You gave me the line to grasp onto,
and you pulled me upYou helped me breathe again,
Helped me see again,
Helped me feel againAnd I thanked you.
But when your hands got wet from the water on the rope,
You struggled to keep me afloatI could feel the rope slipping,
I could feel your strength waning.I tried to hold onto you,
Tried to make you my anchor
But the more I held onto you the wetter you became.I felt myself sinking again
Sinking faster and faster the more I struggled against itYour love had saved me but you hadn't prepared to keep me safe.
So here I lie
Once again
In the dark dark oceanDrowning
