Could someone throw
me a lifebelt? I think I'm sinking
My heart drops to the depths
of my stomach
like a stone
in a lake of frail tears.
I can't condone the way
my mind is thinking,
or control my breathing.
I'm a boat that is leaking
and I'm flooding with doubt
as I try to bail the waters out.
I know where my stars are guiding me,
and all I see before me
is a dark empty sea
with storm clouds crowding
the sky with menacing glee.
I don't have any answers,
and that scares me so much more.
I've always been so sure,
but now my heart sits
on the ocean floor,
dragging itself painfully to shore.
I know the questions,
but my mind can't reply,
like it got sucked
through a whirlpool
to another time.
The sunset dreams
seem so dark somehow,
when the heart knows
the hurt it could cause,
and in a round
of sarcastic applause
the gulls laugh with glee.
Seeing me sinking
into my own sea
of insecurity.
If I was to sit
where my heart
feels at home,
if I let my dreams roam,
if I found the place
where fantasy and reality
share a sweet caress,
then I'd be happy for a lifetime,
but that happiness
comes with knowledge
that my actions
could cause pain to others.
A tidal wave of emotion
smoothers the ocean,
as I float upon
these feelings held within,
and I whisper
to the air that will listen.
I love you.
Does that make me a bad person?
Or someone that listens
to his heart sat within still beating?
