I'm drowning in my emotions
Midst the chaos that has become my life.
Making me question my faith
And my ability to survive.
My heart is confused and my hands are tied
With the memories of moments ago.
Wondering if love truly exists
Or is it's just a bandage for the wounds.
Sadness can be so overwhelming
And countless tears to compare
To the smiles worn by the innocent,
Grazing skin so fair.
Anger stirs inside me.
The fear of losing it keeping it in.
Still, it builds and builds
Overflowing at the rim.
Regret hangs over my head.
Full of feelings I wish I'd never felt
And things I never would've done.
But there's nothing I can do,
For the past can't be unstrung.
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And grant friendship to those who need it.
But still I find myself without love.
Something that was once so easy to believe in.
I'm drowning in my emotions.
And can't seem to find a way to the surface.
My lifesaver has abandoned me.
Now, is the effort even worth it?
