Slipping Away
I feel alone, but there’s people all around.
There’s voices and laughter, but I don’t hear a sound.
I feel empty, but there’s a pain in my heart.
There’s no way to escape, and I’m falling apart.
I feel numb, but there’s a heavy weight in my chest.
There’s a sadness creeping in, but I’m doing my best.
I feel betrayed, but there’s no going back now.
There’s only memories left of us, but I feel closer to you somehow.
I feel myself falling, but there’s no one to catch me anymore.
There’s gravity pulling me down, and I’m completely filled with this remorse.
I feel like I’m floating away, but there’s chains holding me, pulling me down.
There’s a better place for me, but I’m a prisoner to the memories of this haunted town.
I feel surrounded in you, but there’s no use in running away.
There was a time when I believed in forever, but I now feel afraid.
I feel adrift in a dark sea, but there’s no light on the shore to guide me home.
There’s no sound coming out as I scream for help, for I am engulfed in the foam.
I feel myself shaking, but there’s not a single soul that can comfort me as I relive the past.
There’s skies of gray surrounding me like a blanket, and I see my life fall into shards of glass.
I feel him next to me, but there’s nobody here, even after endless pleads.
There’s a fear inside of me that it was my fault, but I feel relief as I let myself bleed.
I feel less hopeful now, but there’s still the thought of ending everything.
There’s circles under my eyes from years hurt, but I’m slowly slipping into nothing.
I feel darkness creeping in, but there’s no point in regretting this choice.
There’s no turning back time as my life slips through my fingers, but I am filled with rejoice.
I feel better now, and there’s no weight forcing me down to earth.
There’s just a breeze that’s blowing me away softly, and I finally regain my self-worth.
I’m as light as a feather, there’s not a single care in the world.
There’s open air for me to run through, blue skies luring me to spin and twirl.
I’m not dragging myself and others down anymore, I’m no longer a disgrace.
The dark days are over, I’m free to be happy in this new place.
