My Drowning Heart

The drowning is coming to my heart And I am at a loss of words this time My fearful thoughts are a shadow Of what I dare to express in words What is that I hear from you That you must carry my heart away To the distant gaping hole of distrust To a place where I am left cold I can’t hold on forever to this nothingness The ridicule and false promises to change There is a trail of lies between us I have been trapped in the deception of you My heart shall be better without you For we were not meant to be in this world You cannot blind me with your spell any longer I have learned to love myself and want more So turn your back and walk into my past And only then will my heart begin to heal There will be no tears shed for you In my smile I am finding peace at last
