I Am Drowning

I am drowning  

I am drowning 
Drowning to the bottom 
Down and deeper ....
Like an anchor 
Come you better hold me now by the shore
The store once celebrated the life merrily. 
Strings are not attached anymore 
Ah! The pain; or should I name it as pearls
Pearls those are priceless;
Some I lost to the waves 
Some under the rays of sun
All I remember now
Is when the thread tore apart 
The rythym of those dancing pearls 
And the floor,
Only trace the dried stain of blood and love
Yesterday he lived
Today he died
Tomorrow feels like drowning 
Drowning to the bottom; lay the seabed 
More down and down 
Much deep and deeper ...
