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
