Circle the Drain

Round and round you go
Slipping further into the aquatic vortex
A smug smile won’t keep you afloat
You’ll drown in your sea of lies
The face of a sad child says it all
You’re killing her too
Dragged to the depths by your pride
We stand on the shore’s edge
Desperate to cast out a line
Refuse the helping hands
Release your selfish grip
Don’t punish innocence with your sins
