The darkness encloses slowly,
Circling my mind and keeping
Me from feeling anything.
Why am I always so alone,
Secretly weeping a river
Of memories to slip,
Fall, and drown myself in.

One single light could
Easily save me now,
Yet no flame appears in
The midnight sky, flashing,
Dancing away as the pain
Builds and explodes,

Nobody saves me.
Nobody has to save me,
And nobody wants to save me.
Why should they?
I am a wreck, I am the scene
After a monsoon sweeps through.

I am the tornado and
I am the damage caused.
Spiraling, out of control, out
Of reach completely.
Come and find me,
Be me, see me, help me.
Try to solve my riddles.
Be willing to try.
Try to try.

My knees are bruised from
Begging, pleading, screaming,
Sounds pierce the stilled night,
Rupturing the peace that we all
Long to hold within ourselves.
Where are you?
I can not be calm, still at sea,
The tides are strong and
the water bitter.
Save me.
I’m drowning.
