Breathing Underwater

Breathing Underwater

Sometimes

my love for you

holds me down

Never

Holds me back

I try to

Let go

but I see you

s         

i

to depths of your own mind

Depths that scare me

only because I have drowned

in that same pool.

I felt like I couldn't keep my head above water

so I gave up

and

started learning

to

breathe

Under Water.

Water

Never constant

Constantly Changing

Coming and going

Constantly

Unless it is in a stagnant

dirty

puddle or pool

That stagnant water

never changing

gathering old discarded emotions

will kill you

You must

move on

accept the ever changing

rushing waters

of natures cleansing

oceans

rivers

water falls

Only then can you learn

to

Breathe

Under Water

Until then

I won't

Let go.

I

Will

Keep trying

to help you

the only way I know how

Breathe
