You choked me

it’s like something washing over me
like drowning and remembering it
it’s like dying every time i see you

my lungs fill with water and i choke

you weren’t there to keep me dry
weren’t there holding my hand
you were just busy finding the perfect words

my lungs fill with water and i choke

i can’t hear you speaking those words
you’re too late to say goodbye
my lungs filled with water and you choked me
