Drowning

I was standing there, in the middle of my own chaos

Unsure and uncertain, drowning but no one could see or maybe no one cared

And then there was you, out of nowhere

Grasping my hand and pulling me out of my own darkness

You were the breath of air I was craving

The hand I needed to save me from drowning

You saved me from my own but not from the cold

All you wanted from me was a little love

But all I could give you was my cold heart

But then again even ice melts with the burning fire of desire

All it takes is a little time, a word from you, a touch from you, the sound of your voice

It warms up my cold heart and I feel the ice melting even though I don't say a thing

How do I tell you how much effect you have on me?

How do I tell you how much I love you?

How do I tell you that I don't want to hurt you?

How do I tell you to have patience with my broken soul?

How do I tell you thank you for saving me?

When every time you pull me out of the water

I try to go right back in

But I'll hold on this time, to you

To the sound of your voice, to the words that you say, to the sparks in your eyes, to the touch of your hand, to the idea of you

I know I'm always asking for more, but just this once

Don't leave me drowning because I need you to be my savior even when I don't say it.
