Suffocation

You told me you don't love me anymore
that alone crushed me to my very core
I couldn't remember when you said it first
I had for it then no hunger or thirst
as I do now that you've bled me dry
unable to love me, unable to fly
through the storms that I brought in
for wanting the freedom I had back when
I first met you and I was still me
not the "us" you wanted me to be...

But over this time together, I grew
comfortable because "us" was what I knew
but you had since grown back into you
as I was trying to bring back skies of blue...

The words "I love you" are now like air
I'm flooding away in the storm clouds there
and it's become more than I can bare
suffocation, drowning in an longing stare...

unable to take a breath of life in
until you say you love me again.
