The way you keep pushing
As if you want to see
The dark monster
That you know me to be

But I am not that monster
No not the one you think
I am so much darker
And you’re pushing me to the brink

Please don’t go stirring
These dark things within
The monsters won’t stop
Once they awaken and begin

You saw me drowning
And rather than
Extend a hand
You turned your back
And let me sink

I don’t know
If it was because
You were confident
I would survive
Or if it was because
You didn’t care
If I survived or not

But I did
And I’ll never forget
The image of your back
When what I needed most
Was your hand
