Cold, dark sea wrapping its arms around me.
Slowly sinking to the deep end of humanity.
The sloom watches me without a word.

I pushed you away when I needed you the most.
So many words left unsaid,
But my lungs suffocate with the pain that lingers within

Years and years of happiness suddenly changed,
Once you lurked underneath my skin.
Numbed and weak to get back to the lost me.

Cold, dark sea your waves rock me.
I close my eyes and let you take me away from reality.
You say you're my safe haven,
but you're really...

We’ve been talking for a while now,
I’m catching feelings for you.
Giving me the attention,
Slowly feeling noticed.
You see potential in me,
Out of everything in this world.
Little do you know,
That smile is my drug.
Please let me confess,
The thing that keeps me up at night.
I fell in love with you,
I want you only to myself.
But the next moment,
You’re acting strange and cruel.
Can’t look me dead in the eyes,
Your mouth hasn’t said a word.
Friendship was your intention,
But I wanted more.

A high school dropout sounds common,
No need to forget a pregnant teen.
Inexperienced adolescents become drug addicts,
Crime and felonies are the rising scene.
Betrayal and cheating on significant others,
It’s no longer known as love but lust.
Suicide feeding off of the broken souls,
Blocking off eternal happiness and trust.
Those are all the sinful endeavors society commits,
No saviors help guide these predicaments toward liberation.
Yet the upright individuals sit on the world,
Deeming the guilty instead of saving the nation.
Only...
