Capsized

Rivers rising to the middle distance Skylines sunken in sea-salted prisons An endless ocean, the bottomless blue Venomous, choking, a sacrifice for you I've buried my head, but never to hide I've broken my fingers just to provide I've taken a throne, but lost all my pride And here I sit empty, my love cast aside The sky has broken in an instant Memory serves to torture, insistent A constant reminder of poor decisions No number of wraps will sate this incision Now let the blackness swallow it all A shining beacon on the other side Now see your actions be your downfall You are the cause for the surmounting tide I've buried my head, but never to hide I've broken my fingers just to provide I've taken a throne, but lost all my pride And here I sit empty, my love cast aside
