It's Not About Love

Dove in slowly,

Shallow water,

Didn't try to breathe.

(It’s not about love)

-

Closed eyes,

Torn clothes,

Turned around.

(It's not about love)

-

Hidden spaces,

Chest pains,

Begging for the truth.

(It’s not about love)

-

Who even am I?

Or you?

No time to know…

(It’s not about love)
