Empty Pool

September 5, 2013

Im drowning in an empty pool.

Im crying dry tears.

Im screaming out with no voice.

Im reaching out with lymph arms

My heart is barely beating.

My breathing is slowing down.

I know im slowly fading.

but I don't really want to die.

Someone needs me

but I cant take this pain.

I want to run and never stop

I want to run and never look back.

This place

this world

holds nothing for me

except one thing; one person

Im drowning in a empty pool

im crying dry tears

im screaming out with no voice

im reaching out with lymph arms
