Lips Turning Blue

You seem so happy with us

What we are

Where we stand

On this slippery icy slope

.

I don't know how to tell you

About my growing fear

That this is too good to be true

That this ethernet of safety

Won't hold our tangible weight

.

We can dive so deep

That I end up bemused

As to which way is the surface

And which sends me further into our abyss

.

I know you don't

Like spending too much time

There in the dark

Because the carbon dioxide

Gets to your head

.

And suddenly what's stopping us

From breathing in nice and slow

.

But what if I'm already suffocating

Above

And

Below

The waters
