I'd be lying if I said
seeing you with her
didn't hurt me at all
and it hurt more
because you were
no longer there to
catch me when I fall.

I felt like you ripped
my heart out of my
chest. Clearly I was
never the best.

I felt like all the air
in my lungs had
been sucked out.
it had always been
her without a doubt.

Maybe you like her
more than you could
ever like me,
but really it's my fault
because I was just
too blind to see.

it was then I
realized that
you don't need to
be underwater to
feel like you're
drowning.
when everything
around you is
already burning.
