I've been crying inside,

For so damn long.

I feel like I'm drowning,

In the ocean's black depths.

I tried crying,

My problems away,

Washing my soul

With the salt of regret.

Begging anyone,

Any being who would listen,

To forgive me.

I tried silencing,

My aching heart,

With the balm,

Of indifference,

Saying I didn't give a fuck

What happened,

Around me.

I tried praying,

Begging God,

To ease the hurt,

Or take my sorry ass,

Off this earth.

My world,

Was black and empty,

Scarred forever,

By my choices.

I cried myself to sleep

All those long aching nights.

When my tears,

Finally dried,

I cried still.

Silent sobs,

That no one heard.

I tried talking,

Yet no one heard,

My deepest pain.

The blame,

That I alone,

Could carry.

My heart will forever ache,

Breaking day after day,

As I go out.

I doubt I'll ever be me,

Again.

I'll always be drowning,

In the bitter tears,

I so silently shed.
