GEMs

GEMs

I thought I had you, you knew you had me,
Two peas in a pod I thought, lost out at sea.
I feel the water piling up, beneath the breaking waves,
I’m not looking anywhere, even with this fixated gaze.
A sense of urgency flooded my soul,
Drowning now I just want to be at home.
Instead I feel the pressure, building inside my head.
I can’t sink any further, I don’t want to end up dead.
But those GEMs sat at the bottom of the sea, shining ever so brightly, reflecting back at me,
If I only knew from the beginning,how deep this could be,
You never showed me, how is it only now can I see.
I can’t cut off my oxygen, but you think again I will,
I think this time I’ll stay here in the calm now, nice and still.
I wanted the GEMs, they no longer want me,
Certainly now I’m trying to reach the best of my ability.
I realise now this is how it always was,
You dragging me to the bottom, just because.
