To Loneliness, To Drowning

i didn't know how it would hurt;
the pouring dusts of untold pains
that you secretly sprinkled on me.
but it burned, burned, burned me to my soul.
like loneliness seeping through the dirt on your grave.

won't you care i'm hurting?
would you notice i'm gasping for air?
to the ground i fall, shattering apart
and you're pinning me down, down, down,
down to the mausoleum beneath the waves

i'm drowning away to a land underwaters
where everything is nothing and they're insidious
to the dry i say goodbye, i'm too lost to reach back home
and for a fact i cried, i cried, and i cried,
for being lonely once again, once more.
