fish out of water

bird in the sea

i'm certain that you

were never supposed to love me.


gave me the ocean

did you mean to leave me drenched?

you know i'm scared of drowning

but afraid of being quenched.


held my breath

held my words

learned how to swim

to fly like a mockingbird.


but the real suffocation

wasn't from your ocean

it was from the shallow ponds

filled with tears of emotion.


because no amount of air

could replace the regret in my lungs

and no amount of truth

could replace the lies from your tongue.


but you know what?

i don't care anymore

cry me a river

bitch.
