Sinking Feeling

You set me as your

Default

The cracks in your curiosity

Are broken tail lights I

Followed

Kicked up dust is blinding

I didn't know when to hit the

Breaks

Offroad headlights aren't fast enough

To warn me about the deep

water

Cold and deep meet my eyes

Be honest this last

Time

Each second drained too fast

Drown me with parting

truth

Pride has floated away

I'll hold my breath and you a little

Tigher

Even if you don't love me

Maybe Lie for a few seconds

Longer

Just until I fall asleep

Thinking about you still makes me

Shiver

Not because of cold

My lungs scream and

Burn

But missing you is worse

My last words will be our

Song

That no one will hear but I

I've drained this

Hourglass

And we are out of time

I loved you

But it and I will

Pass
