I am the waves
Reaching for the shore
But crashing long before
The sand is even in sight
π
I am the acrobat who
Lunges for the swing but
Is too far away to even
Graze it with her fingertips
π
I am the person drowning
In quicksand but still struggling
As if she has any hope of
Breaking free
π
I am the diver
Falling towards
An empty swimming pool
And ruthless concrete
Knowing she will shatter
At the bottom
π
I am the girl
Who loves you
Even while knowing
You cannot love her back
