it hurts me.

when i thought you'd be the one to stick around.

you were supposed to be my fresh air,

but you're the one holding me down.

your hands are pressing my head under the surface,

my lungs are filled with water

and my heart has sank.

my body is failing

and my limbs are flailing

and my mind is wailing

and i am no longer sailing.

i can't float when you put holes in my sail.

and you said you were thriving without me.

well i hope that's not true.

i hope every night for a long time you feel terrible.

because it hurts to just think about you.

and to think,

you were supposed to be my best friend.
