Eyes as deep and blue as the ocean, I’m drowning in the sea.

i can't focus on anything,

or bring myself to tell you

that while you focus on our wedding ring,

i think you're just a distraction.

you had a hard beginning

and think that i'm your perfect end.

that's why it's hard convincing

you that i'm just a friend.

i'm losing hours of sleep.

my grades are going down.

that doesn't mean i can't keep

trying to defend myself.

"we're just friends,"

just isn't enough

to bring this to an end.

i can’t say "no,"

and it's killing me.

i wish you could see:

i just want to be set free.

musician, photographer, writer, feminist, vegetarian.

i take all of my cover photos. :)
