In the depths of my heart,
I feel myself falling apart,
Drowning in emotions is so true,
I am sinking before you.

The weight of my love,
Is too much to bear,
I am lost in the push and shove,
Of a heart that cannot repair.

I long for your touch,
To pull me from this abyss,
To save me from this rush,
Of feelings, I cannot dismiss.

But the more I try to reach,
The farther I seem to fall,
Into a void that cannot teach,
The meaning of it all.

So I sink deeper still,
Into a love that cannot be,
Praying that someday you will,
Come and rescue me.
