Sinking
How can this be real
When I can barely feel
The love you claim to have for me
The hate instead you show to me
You know that I love you and how much I care
Yet constantly question if I want you there
Drowning in apathy we both seem to leak
The deeper we go the less we will speak
I can't hear your voice but give me your hand
Together I know that we can withstand
10 feet under you're getting colder
Hand in hand, your head on my shoulder
We've hit the bottom, our pulses slow
As life escapes us I need you to know
How much I love you and how much I care
Is why I'm down here instead of up there.
When I can barely feel

Together I know that we can withstand
10 feet under you're getting colder
Hand in hand, your head on my shoulder
We've hit the bottom, our pulses slow
As life escapes us I need you to know
How much I love you and how much I care
Is why I'm down here instead of up there.

I could relate to all of this (except the dying part) & I know this is old but it grabbed my attention more than any other poem I read today.
