Lie to Me and Tell Me I'm Okay

The cold water doesn't push away
The pain anymore, it doesn't distract
Me from the agonizing feeling of being lost
In the middle of my own mind's labyrinth.
The gasps for air haunt me as I try to grasp
Onto something to keep me above the ocean
Full of my own demons and monsters
Fueling my depression.
The smile that lies on my pale lips
Struggles not to falter for the sake of everyone else
While internally my soul screams and begs to run away
To leave it all behind and never look back.
Please, lie to me, darling midnight stars,
And tell me I'm okay;
My vision is fading out as I fall back into a sea
Of black linens and spiral into another world
That promises release.
The goddess to whom I pray has her arms
Open wide with a smile on ruby lips,
Welcoming me home
Into her beautiful emerald green grove.
Before I fade into the nothing,
Lie to me
And tell me I'm okay;
Maybe someday I'll believe you.
