Midnight Swim

A mended heart, once broken Crawling in it's infancy, easily forsaken Yearning to swim again in numbness Home to the unloved and the loveless Surrounded by new friends Like palm trees they easily bend Dancing in the wind, they have their fun Deprived of shade, I'm scorched by the sun Charred by the sun raging One bump can stop the feeling Fighting the urges My heart fails and submerges Listening to my heart not beating Cheated out of healing Slowly drowning in numbness Swallowed by the dark and devoured by nothingness
