Right in front of my eyes, people disappear

I'm not blind..

Just too kind.

It hurts the possibility of pain

But that's what keeps me, me

And that lie when I say I'm fine

Yet I'll ask are you okay?

I'm already bleeding

Yet I cry because your eyes are tearing

What am I? Where am I?

Stuck in the depths of my own heart

Thinking about you.

You alone.

Are you safe?

Are you home?

Though you load the arrows, aim the bow

All i see is a bunch of flowers that you throw

Yes I bleed, yes I drown

All i want is for you to swim.

I won't die, for I live in your breath

I live past death.

I live in your love, the kindness and your sorrow

I wish I could borrow another tomorrow.

Share this today..

Oh yeah I'm still alive

But i can't swim

Will you swim for me too?

Coz I'll drown for you.

So would you be my tomorrow?

Imperfect yet mine.

Broken yet fine.
