Analysis of I'd Die Without You

Anaya 2006 (United States)



Depression calling again,
The pain seeping into my skin,
When will I be able to breathe,
When will this end,
Where are the pills,
I truly need them.
I’m drowning,
Please grab my hand,
Anxiety holds me still,
While a wave of worries come crashing in,
I want to walk,
But I cannot stand,
These thoughts keep my face,
Stuck to the wet sand.
You say you see me,
But I don’t think you understand.
I don’t think you see,
The black hole I really am.
A weak smile on one side,
While the other stays teary eyes,
I talk to you,
Cause you’re the only happiness in my life,
Don’t leave,
I might die,
Don’t want to put pressure on you,
So I keep that last line inside.
Don't get tired of me,
I need new memories of you,
To redecorate my mind,
Sammy I can’t speak for too long,
Depressions on the other line.

It's something I wrote like 2 weeks ago. About my mental health and my hearbreak.
