Drowning Sin Along With Me

by JustAFoolInLove   Mar 21, 2005


I give a little pain
As a sacrifice
That allows me to
Receive your advice

When I am craving
A heart-to-heart
Revealing my pain
Is how I get it to start

It feels, to me
That the only time
You really know me
Is when the pain starts to climb

When it’s finally too much
I let loose my dam
Housing what once was a river
In which I easily swam

But sometimes I feel
Like I can’t swim any more
And the current is pulling me
Away from the shore

Then you come in
Rush to save a soul
From drowning in a sea
That’s blacker than coal

The dark water, at times
Seeps deep into me,
It poisons my mind
And stifles my plea

I cry out for help
But, now it’s too late

I’m too far under water
To ever be found
I’m far beyond rescue
I’ve already drowned

Drifting along, now
My body submerged
I know that, now
My soul has been purged

    dannngg boy! lol. Another poetic masterpiece. Your poems never fail to impress me. Your poems keep getting darker and darker though Zac. What's wrong? Stop living in the darkness and talk to me. I'm here all of the time practically!! Leave me a message and I'll get back to you. I love reading these sad, long, dark poems, but I can't ever seem to get it into my head that YOU, my cheery un poco chico, wrote these!! Its not how I always thought of you, so its coming to me as a shock, just hang in there Zac!! *hugs* I hope you're okay.

    Love you to bits and pieces, so don't you dare go back to cutting or I'll....I'll....find something...to do, lol. Just don't go back to it, ok? OK! lol!
