You're too late
Too much was done
As I drown
I can feel my last breath
creeping up

Eternal is the repetition
of every repercussion
A better life floats on
as I sink beneath the weight
of a so-called love

The current of your mistakes
consume the space
between my toes
I am rooted in the depths
of dysfunction

Persistent whispers remind,
'You're never enough'
Waves of your words rush over
as crushing as ever,
knock me to the ground

Defeated... on my knees
scratching and scraping,
searching for one ounce of myself
Only the silence of scars exist
your erosion has taken its toll

Mind and body, worn
So fragile, so frail
Left, only a shell
where my former hopes
my pride, my dignity
were once held
