When I was drowning, you saved me
You pulled me from the waters cold grasp
And lifted my head above the waves of my own depression
And for that you were my hero.
I find myself
lost in the ocean
but not the one that you think of when
you think
'ocean'
the liquid is my own thoughts
drowning my talents
discouraging my mind
the water ever-deepening
Where do you go when you have no one to turn to?
When the lines of love you had, you've simply burned through...
What do you do when hearts lie broken, shattered particals like sand...
Take it slow
One breath
Then another
Day by day
Step by step
Alone is better
Easier
Less people to hurt
Anger
Isolation
Time bomb ticking
Blast zone empty
Love,
It is a four letter word.
spoken in one syllable
I remember the day you left
I fell to my knees
I prayed someone would take away this pain
Three weeks passed by and i saw you with her
Stability wasn't a thing I would have known
But it got better as I had grown
I thought it was the reason that I cried
But it's really because of my sadness inside
What am I supposed to do
I am sinking.
I am sinking,
and I can't remember -
where I started
or why I am here?
The azure Sky,
the open Sky Open.
I scent the Earth in myself . . .
I am sinking.
Calling, Crashing
lights are flashing
what is happening?
this is maddening
storm and lightning
Fears are frightening
Put in writing
we can't fight it
Can't you stop it?
I slowley sink
Into the darkness
Of my mind
The demons know me
They call me by name
But they don't care for me
For who could love
A depressed girl?
I’m stepping in quicksand and can’t break free
My vision’s blurred and now I can’t even see
A shot fired across the decka weakened hull. A turning tide.Well, all our anchors hang on chainsand dangle off our changing minds.
The first thing I ever learned from her is that when she says she doesn't care, she's really lying through her teeth.
I recall a time not long ago...
When I sat amongst the sand,
When the waves broke on the shore,
And the sun baked my hands.
I recall a time I lay,
Utterly at peace.
A time long before,
I want you to trust me.
I want the smiles,
The laughter,
And the love back…
I don’t want these tears…
I don’t want these fears…
I want you
To believe in us,
To believe in me…
I wonder,
If you ever think of me.
Of all the nights
We spent side by side,
My head on your chest,
Arms intertwined,
As our hands engulfed each other’s.
I wonder
The ship is sinking.
There is a hole in the bottom of the stern.
The women scream and clutch their children with fright
While the men run around, struggling to maintain control.
Our boat is sinking, and I hold tightly to it.
I tell you it will be alright. I tell you it may stay afloat.
Our boat is sinking, and I slide to the end.
The bitter sound of depression
slowly devoured my body
deeper and deeper
sinking into a new demension
where the full ocean of sorrow
was whipped again
far, far away
