Array ( [sid] => 129103 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Drown [time] => 2006-12-06 08:47:54 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Treading water’s the only option,
Place your trust in the action,
Constant, like a heartbeat,
Detached and distant.

Limbs numb from the coldness of your words,
Emotions deadened by your actions,
Pulled under again, and again, and again,
Pushed around at will,
A marionette to the sea; to you.

The keel smashed, the hull breached
I thought what we had was strong,
I thought it would last,
It took a moment for you to tare it down.

Blinded by our passion,
Blindsided by a wave of deceit,
How could I miss the signs?
Not see the splintering, feel the rust?

Tired now; of swimming, of aching,
Thrashing around and getting nowhere
Sink or swim?
Women and children first,
But I think I’ll stay,
The good go down with the wreck,
The foolish tread water.
