Tears

Pull me into the tide
But don't pull me under
Keep me out of the rain
But let me hear the thunder
The grip of life pulls me closer to death
Why is living so confusing
Yet it's so simple to die
I want to tell you how I feel
I tried to tell you
But my tears drowned my thoughts
The word wanted to jump out of my mouth
Just like I wanted to jump
Just like i wanted to overdose
Slit my wrist, cry, and forget
It's that simple
Everything is gone
