A Tough Place to Be

I found myself in a predicament

I threw my feet in first

And when I was fully submerged in,

I immediately started to reach back to where the ceiling is,

You know how that feeling is

When you think it's warm water,

But your feet are different from the rest of your body

And it turns out to be a lot colder than you thought it was,

So you've shocked your body and now you want to call it love,

Knowing damn well you can't swim in water this deep,

You just hope she'll show you how to move your arms and kick your feet,

This is me,

I found myself in a predicament

And I find it hard to believe,

When I put my feet in I shouldn't have planted that seed,

Because it's growing and growing

But I still feel like I'm sinking,My heart on my sleeve

So I didn't really know it was bleeding,

Until the sharks came around

And she left for the weekends,

I was Kicking and screaming,

Until I realized what and why I was pleading

I wanted her to be my reason,

For swimming instead of floating or sinking,

I should've been my own reason

Listened to the birds above me singing...

Because the middle of the ocean is a tough place to be

It's like I swam to the surface but now I can't stand the heat,

A little tear in my heart from where she decided to leave

That grey area of falling in love is a tough place to be.
