Watching you swim,
barley treading water.
Certainly not going anywhere,
but doing a decent job
of not dying.
.
Waded too far in,
up to your neck,
before the ground so swiftly
falls off into the abyss;
and here you are,
struggling.
.
Passed into a new dimension.
Didn’t ask,
just pretended
that I knew what I was,
and that everything
was going to be
okay.
.
Things always become clear,
right before they disappear
forever,
and they’re gone.
.
We waited for this to change
for so long,
then when it came,
we were distracted,
never acted,
and now we are
waiting again.
.
Lost and treading water.
Certainly not going anywhere,
but doing a decent job
of not dying.
.
