I couldn't tell

I can't tell if that was supposed to be me or him
And i guess this is some form of communication
But if i cannot tell, what does that mean of me?
I don't agree
So this cannot be

Oil and water, finally in the mix
Swirling like a toilet, laying it on thick
Draining all of your time and life
I'm confused
It isn't right

So I'll write a letter for myself
But i will not send it, I'm lost in the mail
It'll read of confusion, glopped in puzzled words
To be riddled by the message, contorting what we can't observe

We'll read into our thoughts, more than we will the text
We will cry and we'll try just to sleep and ask what's next

This has weighed me like blocked cinder feet
And i cannot swim, my destiny must be to sink
Wrapped in embrace, comforted by the deep
With her depths, pressed to my chest, taking my breath away
And the pressures in which the diamonds were forged, pressing now, down on me
Yesterday was the worst, drowning thinking of thirst, but i cannot say

I've been walking these hallways
Just to glance out a window to the bottom of the sea
And all that I'm left thinking, that while i am weeping, that the walls seem to leak
Then i notice the quiet, I'm alone left in silence, as the glass begins to crack
I'm left there,
There's no ending,
As i know you too, are now swimming
I'm just waiting while it's all going black

Author's Note
Oceans haves grains of salt. I'm hoping my words here do too. This poem could mean everything or nothing, i don't know what to do.
It's not specific, just a play with feelings.
