drowning Love



Today i woke up ,parts of me still screaming to go back to sleep. the parts that only want to be awake if they're next to you.
i got up today and the air was different , but only in the ways someone in pain can tell.
I've fallen so deep into you that I've lost the way back to myself . i only find myself wondering in a dark forest chasing the only light i see ...never reaching it.
 i thought love saved.
but i was drowning with no time to spare and you never came to save me.
i survived and so i searched the deepest oceans for answers, only to find another depth in you i hadn't fallen into before.
