Drowning

Song lyrics

There used to be a day

Where I didn't feel abused

Simpler times

Where life didn't get me confused

Escaping from the present

October brought in the rain

sheltered within your arms

you deflected the pain

My dry eyes feel soaked 

when you're not around

My rainbows turn grey

in the absence of sound

With you I'm found, with you I'll drown

The old house rattled 

to the tune of tragedy

and through all my battles

I'm glad you rescued me

Being broken down

and grounded 

till my feelings are powder

searching for an answer

my questions yelled louder

My dry eyes feel soaked 

when you're not around

My rainbows turn grey

in the absence of sound

With you I'm found, with you I'll drown

When the storm clouds are coming

and the floods have made me mute

In your arms, I'm drowning

For your love is the truth

With you I'm found, with you I'll drown

Reviews

[(Super) Heroes Never Di..]

Such bittersweet and relatable words. Definitely a great read, and I could feel the musicality of it in the flow. Very impressive!

[Lyn Anderson]

Often music lyrics equate love and death and intermingle them -- those powerful feelings of giving oneself to another ... and yet ... there is a part of me that hates that kind of love ... but that's just me, and takes not away from the beauty of this piece.

[Traci]

It takes great strength and courage to write about such things. Wise soul, beautiful soul, full of empathy and desire to share your words, to inspire, to encourage, to help heal others. Very admirable work Kee, loved it because it comes from the depths of your soul.

This is the first time a writer announced his poem was actually lyrics & I could feel the musicality of the piece! Usually I can’t feel anything musical at all & I usually figure it must just be me. So it was very nice to easily pick up on the lyrical feel of your message without even trying. Good use of rhyme, often complex & interesting. Your message sounds like an original way to describe the feelings of drowning in a love situation (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[KeeD]

I love that you felt my message come across about drowning in a love situation. Thanks for this really sweet and nice review Margie, you're awesome!

[Aaron]

Wow, I seriously could relate to it

[Onlyme]

To have been broken. Does also mean you can be healed. maybe never be whole again. But what is whole really? You are you. Unique. Simply you. Be proud of you. For who you are. no other is like you.
The bad things happened, sadly yes. But you survived and became stronger due to the evilness others do. And you are more empathetic and understand to cruelty in this sad world. It has made you wiser, stronger and more determined to be better for you and for others around you. And to never spread sadness or heartache. But to spread peace, love and happiness more so.

[KeeD]

Your review is poetic. So introspective and insightful, you are a wise soul. Thank you for being a ray of positivity on an otherwise dull and rainy day.

[Onlyme]

See what I mean. KeeD. Great heart with a great soul. Your one of a good kind. :)

[송지ፏ..]

Very nice. Sounds like my past since I was abused daily by my step father and mother. It flowed nicely.

[KeeD]

I'm sorry to hear about your step father and mother, no child should be treated that way, no human should undergo such pain from people they trust and love. I salute the human you have become that is able to love and spread positivity through creative mediums.
