Teaching Me To Drown
Location
Thanks, my friend
For being there
To kick me when I’m down.
For dragging me to into the well of despair,
For teaching me to drown.
There’s no way out
No lifeguard
No ladder
No one to pull us up
From these deep dark holes
They’re where we shall stay, stuck..
Friend, how did we get this way?
While these tears run dry
we’ll just have to wait
Til someone hears our cry.
The well of hopelessness
It sucked you in so quickly
You called for help-
I tried to save you,
But now I’m just feeling sickly.
You showed me how to hate myself,
To wallow in our shared pain.
You split my heart up with your own
From which neither of us gained.
How is keeping secrets,
Telling lies that are well dressed
Anything to be proud of?
You just seem possessed.
That must be it, my answer:
There must be something grabbing hold of your soul
‘Cuz all that’s left of your heart is a deep, dark hole.
Your thoughts are all so rearranged.
You really aren’t your normal self-
And you say I’m the ones who’s changed.
That I’m the one in poor health.
Well, my friend, if this is true,
I’ve go no one but YOU to blame.
You pushed your bitterness on me,
You put all other cruelty to shame.
There are no words to describe
What will happen to us now.
But in the meantime, let me just say,
Thanks for teaching me to drown.
