Drowning In Shallow Water
drowning in shallow water
knowing how to swim,
but not knowing how to float
i do not blame her for leaving
drowning in shallow water
knowing how to swim,
but not knowing how to float
i do not blame her for choosing him
my main mistake was wanting too much time to myself
my main mistake was pushing her, and her love, away
my main mistake was taking her sincere, precious love for me for granted
my main mistake was underestimating and doubting her inner strength as well as her independence
now there she is happy, smiling , and so in love with a real man
now here i am, a sad, pouting, pitiful little boy with a long way to go
my stomach is not full from the shallow water in which i am drowning in
it is instead from the heavily liquefied regret that is still painfully grounding in
