I feel like I'm drowning
All alone, no help in sight
Find myself constantly scowling
Though I try to smile with all my might.

Waves of sorrow drag me down
To the depths of cold agony
Feelings are an ocean I tread with no sound
I'm trying to swim yet I sink to the bottom of this miserable sea.
Its late, I'm tired, and sad.

I was colorblind
You took my grey world and filled
It with your colors
I am colorblind, coffee black and egg white...

Part of myself died
This much I know is true
It's the piece of me I gave up
Attempting to save what was left of you
I killed a part of me for you

Too sudden. Too real. Too much.
Too soon to fail and lose it all,
Too late to wake up and realize
I'm about to hit the wall.

Breath is coming quicker,
Lungs are caving in,
Maybe it's the heartache
This sinking room is drowning in.

Truth is dawning on me,
Desperate words crawl out my throat,
Pleas are a rocking ocean,
I'm trying to stay afloat.

I did not know that anything
Hurt this much and now,
Need a way to get you back,
I just don't know how.

I am scared you're gone for good
Because you say what you mean,
Two days have come and passed,
I still have not woken up from this dream.

Sometimes I think I was a better writer back then..

Some things I cannot get over
I think I have finally had enough
Cruel time crawls steadily forward
Try to take a step but I am stuck

Know it will be worth it
Pain that comes with change
Happiness can be attained if I
Let go of fear, turn the page
Turn the page

Sounds easy but it's really not
