Cauterize

There's nothing that I can say
to make you want to stay here with me forever.
There's nothing that I can do to make you want me like I need you to.
I need you to.
Just give me one last chance to say this.
Just give me one last chance to say
what's on my mind and I will get it right.
If I could only get my head above the water for a moment of your time.
But you seem so strong and I can't hold my breath for long.
If you've ever tried to scream under water
You'll choke.
