Without You, There Is No Us...

Dead
love in the water

accomplished
so I thought
all you need is love
that is so, so false

if you don't believe
in you or I
then you cannot believe
in us

if you don't trust
yourself or I
then you can't trust
in us

If you can't find compromise
then no promise
can I keep

If we cannot speak
with one another
everything will sound
much louder

if we cannot walk together
then how can we stand
each other

if you don't love
yourself enough
you can't possible
love I

If you do not learn how to swim
then we'll both drown

Rowing with all my might
I feel like I will not make it
knowing that
before I can save you love
I must save
beliefs, trust, and compromise
save the words that do harm
the emotions that makes you cry
keep me from being myself
because when I'm with you
there is no such thing as I
