Alone

At one time in my life,
I thought I'd rather die,
to be up in heaven,
in the big blue sky.

I had so many problems,
I didn't know what to do.
I tried to drink my tears away,
But nothing worked until I met you.

I finally felt I could confide in someone,
and you acted like you cared.
For one brief moment you listened to me,
but try to help me through it all,
you never even dared.

I pushed my problems aside,
focusing only on yours.
Hoping somehow finding Love from you,
would be my only cure.

Now that we're apart,
I feel my world is crashing down.
Can't you hear my heart is breaking?
It's such a loud,god awful sound!

I told you "Drowning will be the death of me.",
of what water, I did not know.
Never realizing until this moment,
It's the ocean of tears I've cried from sorrow.

Hoping you'll come for me soon,
I stay afloat by holding my breath.
I have to keep my faith in our love,
and pray to God this is not my death.
