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
