Love comes and goes


I have fought
Fought hard to keep my head above water
The cold murky water underneath
Wants me to exist no more

The wind is chill
And there are no sounds
Coming from anywhere

It's getting darker and ever so colder
How did I end up here
I have no earthly idea

So long ago I had what I wanted
And what I wanted escaped me
For the finally time

I could never have it
Yet I wanted it so

The universe is against me
And so is my soul

The wind is getting stronger
And yet I'm trying
To barely keep my head above water

I'm waiting for the second
I'll draw my final breath

The demon has won
Nothing I could do
Screamed my soul
