fragile21

the ocean is drying and i can't stop the sand from blowing away
erase this gift that has kept me alive
in the end everything disappears, so burn and evaporate
even the honey from hives
can be dug out with knives
but eventually there is nothing left inside
so all i can do is just close my eyes
and pray that there will be something else to save me

i am so afraid that i will never be able to set free
all of the things that burden and haunt me

this desert that remains where water once flowed like eternity
is all i have left after years of hopelessness
in the decay of a dream i try to make myself bleed again
to peel back the scars
that have covered my heart
for so long then maybe i can keep the wounds open
and resurrect the dying in me
because i only find comfort in a world that breaks me

i don't know what i'd do if i didn't have a place to drown
a sanctuary where i can't stop sinking down
