Left and Right
The cycle begun
We fight, I cry
You have already won

We’re out in this open water
Trying to grasp onto something that isn't there
You swim away as I follow
Without looking back to prove that you don't care

I'm able to get hold of your arm
You tug and pull away from me
Continually resisting to stay
You cover your eyes so you won't see

I lose my grip
You push me down
We fight, You leave
I drown

I was inspired by the poem as I continued to try so hard in a pointless relationship, I finally just ended it.
