PULL THE PLUG

Pull the plug .. there’s too much water
I can’t swim , I’m going to drown
Ever since the day I met you 
I’ve been sinking further down. 

Overflowing, it keeps coming
The current swift, so dark and cold
I can’t take  this wind and thunder
I am losing all control.

The mud is thick , I can’t move
My boots stuck in the weeds 
I followed you , I always do
Giving in to what you need. 

So selfish and so heartless
I was a fool to follow you 
I threw caution to the wind
Thought your love was tried and true.

But now as fate would have it
Just beyond the water’s edge
Trapped below the surface
Very soon,  I will be dead.
