Drowning in Tides

Tide rolls in, brings the pain,

Salt on my skin, I’m lost again.

Watching the ocean, reflects my soul,

A vast empty void, takes its toll.

Waves crashing down, they carry my fears,

Sitting alone, counting the years.

Waiting on a bench, where shadows play,

Hoping for a light, to guide my way.

But all I see is the dark and deep,

The secrets I keep, just make me weep.

I’m sorry I’m sad, sometimes it’s hard,

Weight on my heart, it’s left me scarred.

Drowning in sorrow, a sea of blood,

Lost in the waves, yearning for love.

Footprints in sand, washed far away,

Memories linger, they start to fray.

Tides that I chase, pull further apart,

Each surge of water, breaks my heart.

Waiting on a bench, where dreams fade to gray,

Wishing for comfort, in a world made of clay.

But the tide rolls in, with every tide,

It whispers my name, says run and hide.

I’m sorry I’m sad, sometimes it’s tough,

Holding my breath, can’t seem to bluff.

Drowning in waves, where shadows flood,

Lost in the depths, in a sea of blood.

Carry me back to the shore,

Let me breathe, let me explore.

Find the strength in the raging sea,

To let go of the weight and be free.

So I watch the ocean, and learn to heal,

Embrace the tides, and start to feel.

A journey uncertain, where I reclaim,

The heart that was lost, but wakes again.
