Drowning Heart

It's time to dive deep into the oceans of my soul
A voice reaching through muddy waters, wanting to make amends
A drop of hope in the vacant sea never leaves me whole
Burried within my chest, I feel my heart drowning in demands

A raging storm dying inside, yet the voyage never felt this dull
I wish I could give the ransom to silence its commands
A ghost haunting the sea trying to keep his heart full
A heart wondering if the journey is worth whatever is at the end

Staring at the stars to veil the thoughts floating in my skull
Too lost at sea for help to arrive not that any hand could be lend
I dare not stare within, of fear of feeling it's pull
My spirit will never break, but I  fear the winds will make it bend

I gotta calm my storms, or risk having my love be culled
I need to dive deep down and see if there's any love for myself to make the sea lie still
For now, just remember to breathe, let the sea rock me to sleep, and let my heart mend
