Drowning in Your Tears

Drowning in Your Tears

I’ve often wondered,

how many tears the seas hold

and the ocean’s blue.

And of those tears a

plenty. How many darling

have been cried by you.

And of those tears cried,

all those years. How many were

cried because of me.

I’m sorry for the

pain; anguish, fear and sorrow.

But you will be free.

Now, as the waves wash

over me. I understand

the sum of your fears.

I close my eyes and

let go. Feel life slip away.

Drowning in your tears.
