Red Rose's Poems

Drown

It's been 367 days since I last saw you
8,808 hours since I last hugged you
528,480 minutes since I last kissed you
Over 31 million seconds later I am still broken

I bet you haven't thought about me
I bet you haven't missed me
I bet you haven't wondered how I am
I bet I mean nothing to you now

All those days
All those hours
All those minutes
All those seconds

You abandoned me
You let our ship sink
But you got on the life boat and you left me
You watched from a distance as I drowned

I felt the water slip between my lips
The lips you used to love to kiss
I felt the water take my breath away
You used to do the same

My body went numb
I kept sinking down to the bottom of the ocean
I saw you look over the edge of your life boat
Your cold eyes stared into mine

You didn't try to save me
You let me feel the pain
No one has saved me yet
I just lay here on the cold rocks and sand

Some people say when love ends
The pain is like being stabbed in the heart
I realized they were wrong
Drowning in memories is worse than a knife

I remembered something you said
Everything is temporary
I guess I should have realized
You had meant me
