My Darkest Hour

I feel as if i'm drowning
in a pool of regrets and emotions
and pain and fear and resentment
and uncertainty and dreams

You knocked down the dam that held them all at bay
and now i'm being washed away...

I'm grabbing on to whatever i can
to keep my head above water
but these things end up just pulling me further down

A life preserver is thrown
but with ill intentions
and grabbing on only makes me weaker

I hold out my hand to see if you'll come
your arm so strong
and firm on mine
pulling me up from the depths of my lowest moment
...but you aren't there

Flailing and hopeless
weary and weak
lost and drowning
mouth open in a scream
with only one name on my lips...

My darkest hour

Alone
