and the tide

I want to bury my heart deep beneath the sea

and never have to feel its ache or break again

I want to cast that pain away deep beneath the waves

and never have to look back and see it

 

I want it to sink away to melt away to be gone

for good or so I think but then then you're the there

and I want to feel it I want to feel all of it every

heartache every teardrop every bend and break

 

cause you're worth it, you know that? you're worth

every lifetime of **** every awful lonely night and day

and all the times I pretend to be OK

and you're worth every drop of sweat and blood

 

every minor pang of guilt and every scream

of brutal agony and alone or together you're what

we're all looking for that person that one thing

that makes life worth living

 

and deep down we'd all tear apart the world to find you

cause with out you we want to sink away want to

bury our hearts deep beneath the sea and I

will not build my life on these smaller truths

I'll build it around you

 

you're what makes my heart worth beating

and without you it might as well just

burn or be buried or rot away

melt away sink away drift away

and the tide

pulls my heartbeat

away.

I swear to god I haven't been writing a bunch of poetry in almost no time at all. It's a bunch of old stuff from over the summer and through the fall.
