I’m slipping into an ocean of pain



I’m super saturated



With the salt you keep throwing on my wounds



And the weight of your words



Are pulling me down,



Down,



Under,



The water



I keep swallowing so much baggage



And you keep dumping garbage



Into my soul



I come to you for love



And you burn me



With your acid tongue



Until I’m scalded alive



In your tender care
