The water, my pain
Pulling, tearing me apart
Will ti ever stop?
Is it in my power to surface?
I only hope I can swim
Just so I don't drown

The waves that crash over me
Tossing me round and round
Please
Take my hand
I'm gasping for air
Can't you see?

I don't want to go down
Don't want to be pulled under
I want to breathe
But the tears
Pristine crystal tears
Are only wiped away
And drift further
With each wave

Each wave of pain that slams into me
My voice, broken
Broken from the silent screams
that will never be heard

But I wait for that hand
The one that will reach into the pool of tears
And the stormy seas
The hand that will pull me up
Pull me up and out of this despondency
