Down

by Kai - Aquarius

My tears would not fall
I held them in my eyes,
gathered them there until they flooded my heart.
Drowning in my own mess,
I could not clean it up,
I could not breathe,
but I held in what air I had.
until I passed out,
until I awoke in a lake of gathered tears.
My body drained of it's damager without my will to do so.
Breathe!
The air was fresh, clean,
and it filled the hole inside me
until I could take back what I had been missing.
I was breathing again,
but I couldn't walk.
I laid there in my tears,
soaking in what I didn't want back,
and as soon as I had the stregnth to leave,
I realized it was too late to escape.
Breathe, breathe,
again, beacause my soul doesn't want to come down,
where the rest of me seems to be.
