going down

baby i remember
you shook the current to reverse the weather
anything to get me to open
eyes and arms and heart to you
you promised the world
and space time continuums. 

you held the flood gates open
until i could make my return 
and you held me and my broken
while i wept openly 
seeing the endless stars of possibilities. 

you rearranged the skies and
caught me within the clouds
and never doubted me 
when i was so always down on me,
trying to warn you 
there is so much turmoil that goes with me. 

please don’t get addicted. 
don’t take on this storm just to swim with me. 
i need you to provide flotation
when my vices get the best of me,
not to be here sinking,
going down with me.
