Water

the water is holding me back
I can't seem to rise to the surface
to meet you
in your perfection

the water is pulling me down
I'm sinking slowly
away from you
in your disdain

I need you
to give me understanding
and a second chance

I've hit rock bottom
and it is pretty sandy
I need you
and your helpfulness

I'm calling out your name
but the water keeps me here
beneath you
and your love

I need you
to reach out and save me
I can't save myself
