Sorrowful Riptides
The weight of a lonely heart is haunting me
A bitter darkness washing over me
It comes and goes like the crashing waves
I try to hold my breath as I’m carried out to sea
With my mind fading I’ll say good bye
Hope the memories of me wash away with the tide
I’m not okay, I’m not alright
Won’t you save me from the riptides
Drowning in this sadness
Not enough room for me to breath
Losing sight of you
As I fall into the deep
Ripping currents cut into my heart
The watery tears filling my lungs
The sunlight it fades, from the waterline
As I sink faster to the bottomless floor
Shaking hands reaching for the water’s surface
Reaching for my last life preserve
Please take my hand and hold it tight
Save me please from this drowning fight
Will I come out alive
Or be lost in the deep blue
Please save me from myself
Don’t let the water come through
One more moment of this silence
Before I drown, drown, drown
The sea of sadness swallowing me alive
Drowning in this sadness
Not enough room for me to breath
Losing sight of you
As I fall into the deep

I was just in a depressed mood and writing is very therapeutic for me, so I guess I made this "masterpiece." This Is my first time ever posting on here, hope it goes well.
