Teardrops are a lullaby Singing me to sleep But this broken heart is nothing Compared to promises you can't keep. It's like a steady march To a death toll As sorrow sets in And consumes my soul It eats away at me From the inside out Starting at my heart, Then taking the easy rout; Moving on its way, Coursing through my veins Like acid in my blood, There is no worse pain. I cover my mouth To try and conceal Ashamed at all of this And exactly how I feel. How could I have done this? How could this happen? I gave my all and once again I am found lacking. ****** if you do, More so if you don't I'm trying to keep my head above water, Just to stay afloat. Throw me a lifeline, Just something to hold on to Show me there's a reason That I haven't given up on you...
