I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up

I'm at the beach
while the moonlight is reflecting over the ocean.
The waves are in my reach
and suddenly I'm falling down in slow motion

I slowly forget the things that matter,
Lost and forgotten in the wicked darkness of the ocean floor.
All I know is the ache of my heart being battered.
There's just the loneliness of the midnight hour and nothing more.

I've fallen and I can't get up.
Trying to recover is useless.
I'm a glass cup
that's been shattered to smithereens,
left to fade into nothingness

I plead to God,
"Let the water fill up my soul and take me away from the searing pain of this eternal night."
But, my battered heart keeps thumping on,
my chest caving in from the pressure of the water, as it fights for life.

Tears stream down like rivers
and I scream out for help, bawling as I claw at the darkness.
Suddenly, water fills my lungs, about to be gone forever.
Nothing left to do, just left numb and emotionless

As the last tear falls and I close my eyes to eternity, I whisper,
"Can somebody
please help me? I'm stuck!
I've fallen and I can't get up."
