Cast Into Deep

The gates are opening now
And there is no holding back the tide
Pouring out across these pages
Whispered through clenched teeth lest I tremble to pieces
Or worse shed a tear that will not stop
For the ocean of tears swelling with sorrow
To follow in a sweeping wave
From my soul
Crashing across my heart
Beating through my mind
Wracking my body into a shaking mass of gibbering despair

The gates are open and I am stuck drowning
In all sorrows deep
