Barely breathing

by Teresa   Jul 24, 2008


I am breathing underwater,
the cold water spreading through my body like ice.
i'm not not hearing, not listening.
you tell me these silly things.
...did i really matter?

i layed there, breathless and wet.
thinking of you
and how we met.

too bad you couldn't see the truth
that lies beneathe these waters..
too bad you couldn't see the tears
that cried, almost, for hours.

i tell myself e v e r y day that i'm over you.
but only lying to myself.
am i really over you?
i can't stop saying this to myself.

those lovely memories we shard
gazing into each others eyes.
those long talks we had
only looking in the sky.

oh, how i miss those.

i am breathing underwater
you're on land.
you try and find me.
you stretch out your hand.

but i can't reach you.
you try, but you don't want to fall in.
oh baby bear, i wish you could see...
love isn't there with you anymore,
it's down here...with me.

i can no longer feel that love anymore;
the ice left me numb.
you find love eles where.

alas, dear lover of mine,
who knew things would turn out like this.
maybe it wasn't meant to be,

you being you...
and me being me.

    I enjoyed this poem or writing splurge. somehow the way you expressed yourself made me feel the hurt that you felt. Maybe because i can't get over it as well. However, i rated your writing with a 5.
