Sinking

I get the feeling
that I'm sinking in you.
Your hands go through me
as I'm trying to
think back on a better time.
Like watching water
in a rising tide.

You'd not know me right now,
you'd think that I was a man
wanting to drown.
Shaking words in my fists,
pointing to all of the things
that I won't resist.
Pouring out my heart
and pouring one more drink
to keep it calm.

Because I think I've hit the brink
and this is all I can take,
to keep going on.
to keep going on.
to keep going on.
