Deep-end

The Deep-end

I wanted to fall so deep that I couldn’t get back
I wanted to escape into dreams and live in make-believe
I didn’t expect the bumpy road or broken path
I didn’t see the flashing red lights so I didn’t slow down
I kept going deeper and deeper into the dream
Of you, me, and us.
Us in the deep-end
Nothing more than dust
Shattered starburst in the sky
Broken wings that can’t fly
Wanting love and never getting it
What a mistake I made by thinking you were the one
I went to the deep-end and I jumped in
Now alone I will swim
I can’t get out of the mess I am in.
