You’re falling down the same path again,
you wilted dying flower,
you’re killing what’s left in you,
slowly dying, hour by hour,

why can’t you just stay afloat?
don’t blow away in the wind,
I know you’ve been fighting for so long,
but I promise you can win,

you’re drowning in an ocean,
losing yourself within the waves,
don’t get in over your head,
you’ll perish within days,

but maybe death is what you want,
the water will lull you to sleep,
as you drift away in a dream,
the tide has pulled you in too deep,

you’re nowhere to be found,
but it’s not to late to gain control,
to return to solid ground
