The Pool

i feel i should be resurrected
because my heart was unprotected
vulnerable to the pain around
for attack without a sound

caught in a sea of mass decay
death floats around me as i lay
praying that i might see life
but struggles breed strife

the shallow pool that is my heart
will soon dry up and soon depart
to the sea where nothing thrives
to will never be alive

each day that passes i will age
and i feeling the ticking of a gauge
warning me till my time has ended
my life finally rescinded

but quicker than the gauge is ticking
my heart has ripened for the picking
to be eaten by all those that prey
to not live another day

yet again I've hung myself from the gallows
and as that's happened the pool then shallows
inching closer to my conclusion
and ending all confusion

to be dead inside while still living
is not too hard if you are giving
your heart to those you thought cared
while they left it bare

on the ground waiting for a stampede
while the person who held it was right in the lead
to be the first one to trample and strike
it always seems alike

time after time I've seen the same thing
but i never seem to get used to the sting
piercing through the heart and through my chest
i wish it would hurt less


i wish that my pool will soon deepen
so the grim reaper won't be reaping
my heart for which is still alive
to once again dive

deep when it was when i was first in love
with her in my thoughts with nothing above
to be in love like never before
and never ask for more
