Sharks

Im cut and bleeding
find out which way ill be leaving
so i can clearly exit without being
Overly dramatic or demanding
Trying to seem outstanding
While pretending to be standing.

I'm not crawling-- really falling,
Deep and slowly to the dark.
How can I hold on and stay up
Before I fall into the sharks?

I can take so long to rise
While knowing that I'll die.
If I don't hurry to the sky
I wont be here to try.

And the sharks circle around my heart
Waiting for it to fall over-board.
If enough time goes by with us apart
In a few they wont be so bored.

So don't forget me or break me
I've given you all I can.
My time is slowly setting free
All the little plans we had.

They seem so unimportant now
Like gleaming stars away.
Farther than I can know
And never coming my way.
