Blood, we Drown in

Savasia.d

Oceans leaping and weeping 

As I,

Stand in the water with no hands, no feet

for you, I cry

 

Build myself up as you break me down

I pick up the pieces

for this I try

 

I am made from your blood

Which we drown in, 

Both you and I 

 

But that never mattered to you

Broken, beaten and blistered

I should've seen the clue

 

These scars I have

They came from you 

Unwanted, unneeded 

I could never see a clear way through.

 

I would never understand why

my soul cries so loud for you

 

Then eventually I had to say goodbye.

 

These words to you, for you?

No, for I.

 

I cry for your escape.

 

This time there is no lie.
