The Ship's Going Down

I'm not waiting for you anymore
I'm not, I'm not
It's like putting my hand too close to steel jaws
And painfully
Excruciatingly
Getting caught
There's an unspoken relationship rule
There are those who want
And those who are wanted
I'm tired of not being the latter
I'm tired of being asked
What's wrong?
What are you thinking?
And not having it matter
I'm backing off
Not strategically
Tactically
Not going on the offense
I'm saving myself by jumping over
After all
The ship's already going down
Save myself
It's common sense

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
