Before

Before you drown,

Listen,

Listen to the heartbeat you once echoed,

Listen to the voice you once wished for,

Like my heart was yours,

It remained,

Listen,

Listen to the echoes of my heart,

Listen to why we were perfect,

In this imperfect life you were and still are

Perfection,

Before we drown listen,

I'd always be there,

Even when you push me out,

Bottled up in an embrace we never wished to end,

Will you let me?

Will you let me pull you up?,

Listen.
