I am afloat in an ocean of tears
As the salt softly touches my skin
And the fish who swim below me
Do not know in which waters they swim.

The waves crash down onto the shore
Letting tears trickle into the sand
And the sadness starts pulling me under
And I scream as I reach for your hand

I am gasping for air in this ocean
But with each breath, air escapes
And the salt of the tears blind my eyes
And the watery world loses shape.

My lungs are crying for air,
And my heart is crying from pain,
And my body is crying from pressure,
I see ripples as it's started to rain.

But you watch for a boat as I drown
And you watch my last breath as it leaves
My body goes limp, but I cannot die,
For my heart has not yet been relieved.
