water - a collection of poems

where did I go wrong?

i've been blue like the sea of tears you drowned me in,

choking on the love i gave to you,

gasping for air as your words strangle me.

i waited for you to love yourself as much as i had loved you,

but it never happened.

you broke my love to pieces,

shattering my livelihood,

tearing me apart,

but i still find it in myself to love you,

to care for you,

to wish you the best,

but i cannot keep you with me.

you sit on my shoulder

like a little devil,

convincing me i cannot do it,

and i hate that i believed you.

i still do sometimes.
