Can’t Trust the Sharks

If I dove in

Would the strength in my soul keep me afloat

Or would my demons pull me under

What side of the fence would you be standing on

It’s hard to tell these days

If you’re in the light or the dark

Are you part of my saving

Or are you killing me

Your face is fading

It’s warping into different shapes

Under this water

You don’t look the same

Your hands aren’t reaching

Your arms are not open

Your eyes have turned from green to grey to black

You’re not my lover

You are a sea creature 

Lurking in shadows

Only coming out to feed

You told me I was not your prey

You promised I could trust you

So I swam around freely

Basking in your presence

Gloating in the warmth of your protection

Smirking at all the other little fish

You said if I just helped you get all the food you needed

It would be ok

Then you said if only I were able to get you more food

I promised I would do whatever it took

Just so I could swim in the same water with you

And then you fucking ate me anyway
