its ironic how love works.
"I love you"
yet you left
"I love you"
yet I sink
"I love you"
yet I feel unloved
I sink in this ship
being dragged down by the words you speak
claiming you care as the waves lap me over
claiming you'll hold me
as I reach out to stay above the waves
I don't recognize this kind of love
the love where you let them drown
the love where you make no effort
the love where there lies no proof
love is more than words.
it is so much more than 143
a heart does not tell me you care.
not when I'm crying every night
not when I scar myself with this blade
not when I wipe up my own blood, sweat and tears
because you are too busy elsewhere.
if you love me, hold me.
if you love me, choose me.
if you love me, prove it.
