Like drowning in the static of your voice

─━━━━━━⊱❍⊰━━━━━━─

Your words are suffocating,

Drowning me.

Why can't you be contemplating

Why we only used to be?

They're pulling me down

Until I hear but static.

You ignore my frown.

Why do I feel so pathetic?

All you hear

Are the things I don't want you to,

The things I want to disappear.

Because if you knew

What I really meant,

More than one heart

Would have to mend.

So I drown in silence

And you don't even notice

My absence.

You believe me to be

Like a lotus.

While all I want

Is to be free.

I am not restricted to a pond.

I am no beautiful.

My soul is rotten.

My colors are dull.

All I seem to have gotten

Are bruises and scars.

Only because I kept ignoring my stars.

The static of your voice,

A quiet murmur.

I don't have a choice.

As the water's grip on me

Only continues to get firmer.

You still don't see,

Probably don't want to,

That I stopped listening.

Everything we've been through

Was a constant fight.

A fight amidst darkness,

A fight to see the light.

We tried to harness

What others call love.

Yet, we never succeeded,

Never had enough,

Always felt as if we needed

Only one more spark,

Although it never was that problematic.

Felt as if we were stepping in the dark,

Although there only was too much static.
