Sinking

The weight of my heart is heavy;

I'm blinking back tears.

The weight of my eyelids are heavy;

What I am capable of is one of my biggest fears.

Don't tell me things will be okay;

Don't tell me things will be alright.

I have no reason to stay;

I'm a fading light.

The dull gleam of my eyes-

It's slowly fading.

My heart beats, my body tries;

It tries to keep me alive in the poison I'm in, wading.

But-

I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the searing puddle that will destroy my heart.
