drowning

silly me

i didn't see

when all the signs were there

silly you

you had no clue

we needed each other most & didn't bother to care

we carried on

oblivious to each other's cries

for help, attention, and a stronger bond

never stopped to notice

the recklessness of this

or that all we had to do was hold on

now we are left here

barely afloat

drifting beyond sight of one another

without a paddle to steer

or even a boat

we won't have the chance to find each other
