slowly slipping away
purposely loosening my grasp
realizing I’m alone in a world of so many
no longer trying to stay afloat
my body just keeps sinking
until the light fades to the blackness I’m too familiar with

slowly slipping away
purposely loosening my grasp
slowly losing the feeling of what I’ve had before
the pain of the cold breeze scrapes my body
being told to hold on
they’re all fighting for me
with the fall of my tear, they’ve all disappeared
but they were never really there
and I was never really there
