Pull me out from under
the weight of myself;
I’m sinking
and I can’t breathe.
Don’t leave me here
to drown.
Don’t leave me here
alone.
I am terrified,
and I know that I am
worthless
without you.
The only way
I will ever fly
is if you lay yourself down
beneath me,
and hold up
my wings.
Wait.
Don’t take my place
in the water.
Never mind.
I didn’t mean it.
You can’t swim, anyway.
I love you.
I’d rather drown and let you go
than make you take another breath of
this dark ocean
in my stead.
