Slicing Tears

Through murkey mental waters, she wades  
Wishing its water to drain, the memory fades  
Moving, deeper in she goes  
What lay in wait, no one knows  
 
Tired, so very tired of swimming  
She stops to rest, her mind is dimming  
No longer swimming, now she's floating  
Drifting amidst her thoughts, no noting  
 
The girl awakened it, as it seems  
The thing that sleeps beneath the sea of dreams  
Somethings off, a change in the tides  
She's swam too long, it no longer hides  
 
Torrent waves come crashing down  
Pulled down by thoughts, beginning to drown  
Down, down, listening to silent sea sounds  
She startles awake, her mind and body rebounds  
 
Hot tears stream down her face  
They cut so deep, and remain in place  
A memorial blade of the memory played  
Hidden she kept it, and the price she paid
