How could you know?

How could you know?
I'm missing my life jacket
now
still trying to stay above the waves of my days
If I never tell you,
how could you know that I'm quite sad
about letting you go?
Though
I feel damned if I do,
and damned if I don't.
How could you know the hole you left
if I never tell you?
I'm quieter, softer, smaller, nearly invisible these days
holding a tattered white flag.
don't you know, I'm trying to escape with my life!
With you, my dignity, pride & beauty are Long Gone
those got trampled on
in all the days and battles past
for loving you required so much ripping open
rip
rip
rip
rip
rip
rip
I'm down because to let you go, I can't hold on to a shred of hope.
Nope, I have to accept that as much as you may love me,
you aren't coming closer
and I don't understand this
Don't you know I need you?!
