I guess She found happiness
Just like I begged Her to
With someone who doesnt break her heart
Just like I wanted for Her
Everything is dark now
Did I already drown?
My forever nighttime sneak up on me?
I like to think I am in charge of myself
But I am ruled by a heart I cannot trust
It always leads me astray
Always to Her
And She doesnt love me anymore
And the wind blows and the boat rocks
And I remember no one showed me how to swim
She always said She would be the teacher
But She lies as much as I do when She is scared
She tried to tell me She was scared…
I cant stay in this stupid boat forever
The water keeps rising, pushing against my disbelief, sinking me with my trusty, water- logged ride
Reminding me I am not in charge of myself
I do not get to choose the end
Break the one heart still mine
She is watching me decline, helpless,
No one showed her either
She told me to stay in the shallow
To stay close to her, but she knew I never would
I wish I had known I never would
I would have learned to swim
Not so frantic, creating waves that slow my strokes
It is an ugly sight
One She loved once before
But she does not love me anymore

I really enjoyed the metaphor of not knowing how to swim, especially the line “No one showed her either.”
