Dark Water

Your friends have gone 
tears shed 
What have you done? 
Was it something you said? 

You have said goodbye 
This dark water to tread 
The friends you made cry 
Was it something you said? 

Where have you been? 
This dark water to tread 
Was it the things you had seen? 
Was it something you have said? 

Dark water ......so still 
Dark water.......so deep 
Your tears begin to spill, 
your tears begin to seep 

These friends have left, 
family gone 
You feel bereft 
Dark waters to tread 
Was it something you said? 

This dark water, 
on a dark night 
Dark water to tread, 
all alone.....you dread 

Dark water 
Salty tears that seep 
Dark water, 
fears you keep 

Dark water 
your friends have gone, 
everything lost 
What have you done? 
Still water you tread 
Was it something you said? 

Salty tears, 
on a salty sea 
all alone with your fears 
you decided this you see.................
