A drop of water..

A raspy breath..

A silent scream..

A plea for death..


An aching heart..

Dying dreams..

Wailing whispers..

Broken beams..


Sweaty palms..

Wide, watery eyes..

Painful gasps..

A knife that ties..


The bond between those that have hurt me

The ache I don't wanna hold close anymore

I try to forget, I want to forget

Memories are merged with the things in my core


And oh the knife that ties the bond

Painfully teasing the peace of mind

Who can cut the knife that bonds

When it's the knife that holds it tight


Eyes closed, mind awake

Something else in my heart awakes

Certain people make my heart awake

Certain people make my heart awake


The knife that ties can be broken

Even just temporarily is a blessing

Feeling rough comes so easy

"You don't know what you've been missing"


Certain people make you forget

Certain people make you smile

Certain people don't leave

Certain people walk the mile


Something happens and it all breaks

Certain people struggle to keep you upright

Nope, already drowning

Nice try but too late


It all comes back to the body

Rushes in like a flood, like a star

Reach out with a fragile soul

Already falling far


Floating, numb, unsure of where

Those certain people went

Waiting for the moment something happens

And that blissful feeling comes back


Still a dot in a realm of dark

Still a speck of ink on a blotter

Feeling unique in a universe full of stars

Still just a drop of water.
