Drowning

Falling off of this mountain
faster and faster
saved by a sea of heartbreak

Reality overwhelms you when you lose someone you love
days seem hopeless, food and water taste sour

I’m nauseated
wondering what the hell happened
How did I get here
My head is heavy, my body is weak

If I sleep I will dream of her
when will this feeling end
when will time fly again

It feels as if she died
I try to cry but my eyes are dry
I try screaming for her and no sound comes out

I’m drowning in this sea of heartbreak
I am alone now, scared and useless
hugging my bottle, shutting out my life

Drinking and drinking
Drinking is my knife
This knife cuts into my veins
I consume this heartbreak
I swallow it down,
This heartbreak becomes the reason I drown
