I can't be around you anymore.
I can't breathe in the stale emotional attachment we have for one another.
your words drip a puddle around my feet.
Burden shoved and strapped to my own back.
oh how you expect me to swim out to you.
forgetting the fear i have of water.
fear that it will put my flame out.
the very fire i try to hard to keep alive.
Nursing it night after night.
It chills me to the bone. throwing my body into a fit of shivers.

I won't have anything.
i will have given you all i had to offer.
i'll be stuck, black waters
consuming me, and it won't matter how much i thrash my body around.
i'll have nothing.
no reserves.
my independence is water logged
full of heavy consuming security.
