The tide comes in.
Im standing there,
Watching,
As it laps my ankles.
I see it rising around me.
I feel the cool liquid
Climbing
Up to my knees.
It speeds up.
I cant move, my feet are
Sinking
In the sand below me.
It wont stop.
I cant swim and Im
Drowning
As the water surrounds me.
I cant breathe.
I inhale water and Im
Suffocating
As I wonder what comes next.
You know what she does
And you know who it hurts,
Yet you're still friends with her
No matter how often I tell you.
You're heard what she says
And you know who it's about,
Yet you ignore it and pretend to be deaf
No matter how loudly I yell at you.
You listen to her lies
And you know their not true,
Yet you believe them anyway
No matter how many real truths I tell you.
You follow her every move
And you know it's all wrong,
Yet you only care about her
No matter how much you hurt me and everyone else.
I try to confront you
And you only yell at me and say
'What am I supposed to do about it?'
I can tell you what to do about it
Does it hurt you
To know the truth?
To know I'm not what you thought I was,
That I'm really just the opposite?
Does it hurt you
To hear my screams?
To hear all those things I tried to hide,
Things that, even then, you should have noticed?
Does it hurt you
To feel my fear?
To feel what you never knew was inside me,
What everyone, including you, refused to admit was there?
Does it hurt you
To see my pain?
To see that I'm hurting myself more than you thought,
That I have too many scars to mention?
Does it hurt you
To watch me cry?
To watch my anger fall down my cheeks,
Something you could've stopped?
Does it hurt you at all
