Drowning

By Invisibledarkness

I close my eyes,
I don't want to look up.
I'm drowning...
But not in water,
No, not water...
I'm drowning in the darkness of your soul.
As i plead for breath,
Only pain arrives.
The lump in my throat shows no sign of receeding.
I beg of you to let me go!
Please!
I just wanna breathe,
To simply live!
But that's more than you can stand,
Isn't it.
So farther I fall into the dark abyss.
Please help me up...
The tears burning my cheeks show no sign of stopping,
But all I want is for you to let me go.
To free me from the dark wretches,
That you so happily trapped me in.
As I try one more time to breathe,
I can only speak one last time.
The words broken and mangled,
But understandable all the same...
"I loved you..."
