In the ocean of memory, I find myself sinking,
Drowned by the whispers of your voice, still stinging.
I hate how I loved you, how you pulled me in tight,
A flicker of warmth in the cold, endless night.
You were my anchor, my light in the dark,
But now I’m adrift, alone with my heart.
You told me you’d love me, you promised you’d stay,
But you shattered that promise in the cruelest way.
I hate how you cared, how you held me so near,
Now those arms feel so empty; you’re just a ghost here.
Each laugh that we shared now cuts like a knife,
Your betrayal has buried the hope in my life.
I bled out the colors you painted in me,
With every sharp breath, I’m lost at sea.
And in moments of silence, when darkness creeps in,
I pick up the pieces, and start cutting skin.
You left me alone where the shadows grow tall,
The weight of your absence is my downfall.
Once I felt needed, now I’m left in despair,
Your love was my lifeline; now, who wouldn’t care?
I hate your reflection, the echo of you,
The way that you lied, and the promise you knew.
I swallow my sorrow, let it wash over me,
In this sea of regret, I struggle to breathe.
So here I am, sinking, no chance to break free,
Drowning in memories, lost parts of me.
With every deep breath, I’m fading away,
Wishing you’d held me, wishing you’d stay.
