I let myself do this
get swept up
in the whirlwind
of chaotic emotions

Let waves of hope
crash over me
and pull me out
with the tides

I always end up
too far out
to be able to find
my way back to the sand

And so I drown
gallons of love songs
fill up my lungs
until I'm done for

One of these days
I know i will not
wash back up on shore
and this cycle will destroy me
