Cheeks burning up, scarlet red
Replaying, replaying the things you said
These icy black waves which I no longer tread
I see hope but don’t feel it
Its grasp is out of my reach
Floating up dead on the cold, silent beach
Thought you could somehow save me
Blinking away tears, bleeding sorrow
Why could I not just be me
Can’t see the promise of tomorrow
You tried to help, help me badly
Now the endlessness washes up
Plump stars shrivel and dry
Now I know over and over
You’re asking yourself why
How could the certainty of hope’s
Last breath on me, die
Singing, mourning a simple cry
I thought somehow you could save me
Now the scorching sun wakes up
And all is gone, gone but the memory.
