Drowning In Your Absence
How did this happen?
I wonder.
How the water
Could have
Dragged you under
Is yet another
Blinding secret
But it would still work to
Bind, so we’d keep it
Nothing held
The weakened connection
The glass, it shattered
Everyone’s perfection
Secrets are secrets,
They harm and they hurt
They slice away the pain
Written in dirt
The blood, it smears
Shrouded by mistakes
Hidden in the dark
While trust is at stake
But trust?
It should have never
Revealed itself
It is a lost cause, it cannot be helped
Trust was never a true, solid thing
It was a lie
That only existed
In sinners’ dreams
And hope?
Hope was far from the truth
You’d hope to be freed
But then trapped just as soon
Now, as the ocean
Consumes your last breath
I wonder if I
Was the last you had left.
