I Imagine

I imagine this is what it's like to feel broken.
Like everything is going forward and you're stuck in slow motion.
And I imagine this is what it's like to be drowning.
You gasp and gasp for air and then you're heart just stops pounding.
I imagine this is what it's like to beg someone to stay.
To give your all to someone for them to just give their all away.
And I imagine this is how it feels to be hurting.
To have someone you love turn on you and they just keep on turning.
I imagine this is what it's like to hit rock bottom.
You have so many problems and not enough time to solve them.
And I imagine this is what it's like when it's over.
I imagine you with someone else now my slow motion is slower.
