Washed Up
//Drowning in my own tears
A body of water, so deep
Nothing to find behind these eyes
Except the secrets I keep//
Suffocated by my cries
Buried in sadness
My lungs have been set on fire
Throat swollen shut
My last breath, knocked out
A forced punch to the gut
//It will never be as easy as
Each fallen tear taking with it my pain
Soon enough, my eyes will cloud
And, again, it will start to rain//
A body of water, so deep
Nothing to find behind these eyes
Except the secrets I keep//
Suffocated by my cries
Buried in sadness
My lungs have been set on fire
Throat swollen shut
My last breath, knocked out
A forced punch to the gut
//It will never be as easy as
Each fallen tear taking with it my pain
Soon enough, my eyes will cloud
And, again, it will start to rain//
