Tears of Death

What is this hold
That you have over me?
Something is not quite right
But what I cannot see.

I just don't understand
All that is going on.
All that I know for sure
Is I want these feelings gone.

Everything is closing in.
I can't take a breath.
Why do I deserve
Such a living death?

I need a shoulder to cry on
But no one is around.
I'm left here alone
In my own tears to drown.

The room is flooding fast.
I've forgotten how to swim.
My head's below the salty water.
The world around me growing dim.

I became much too tired.
I no longer fought.
Hoping to be saved
Was consuming every thought.

I have stopped breathing
Not believing in survival.
You are now too late
There is no chance of revival.
