Down

I trapped behind these walls
Tumble them down
I pounding on these walls
Please hear me
Please don’t let me fall
In to the dark
Help me I’m falling 
Into such sorrow

I hear echoes of your voice
They follow me down
Taunting as I fall
Spiralling down
Emotions around my neck
Drown me
Drowning in my tears
No one to save me

At the bottom of this well
I can only go down
Holding onto my breath
Don’t let me drown
Fighting with my thoughts
Cutting you out
I will not die here
No one to morn me

This freezing cold water
Chills my heart
This dark ice water
Reaches my heart
I’m so god damn cold
I will not give in
The echoes of your voice
A growing dim

As the soft light grows
I start to rise
As my lost hope grows
I open my eyes
I see the bright blue sky
I am alive
You almost killed me 
But I am alive
