This is a Safe Place.

You Saved Me And I'll Never Forgive You

It envelops me like a rising tide,

I cannot swim above the water,

I am dragged down, further, and further,

Oxygen is evading my lungs,

I struggle for life,

I kick my legs and flail my arms,

I am desperate for my breath,

The realization of my fate sets in,

I allow myself to fall deeper into the dark,

I close my tired eyes,

My tears become one with the black abyss,

My mind is quiet aside from the panic,

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay",

I let out my last, shuddering breath,

The blackness consumes me,

It enters my body and takes me over,

I begin to fade out of existence,

But strong arms pull me to the surface,

I cough up that blackness,

It comes out of me accompanied by pain,

It comes out accompanied by suffering,

It comes out more difficult than it went in,

The strong arms embrace my weak body,

But I push them away,

After all, I am selfish,

"You saved me and I'll never forgive you."
