Sinking Like a Stone

Sinking Like a Stone

A Poem by Barry Shelton

Verse 1:

Hear me now

as I sink to the ocean floor

Just tell me how I ended up here

with no sight of the shore

Panic takes hold, and it isnt fair

as I gasp for air

Who are you to leave me so abandoned, so empty?

Vanished, with no remorse

like the seasonsm you've come and gone

My voice grows hoarse

I have no choice now but to..

 

Chorus:

Run away from here, leave it all behind

Shaken, but moving forward

from all the wasted time

Maybe the only way to heal

is to kill off your memory once and for all

As if you were never real

(you were my greatest downfall)

 

Verse 2:

It won't be easy I know

But it's not like you gave me a choice

My body frail and skin turned pale

screaming with no voice

I'll be fine, yeah I'll make it so

Finding solace in the act of letting go

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Bridge:

The road to recovery is a long one

Shaky hands hold this gun

I'll do what I have to

to rid myself of your presence

walking away from your existance

Pull the trigger, I'm getting over it

Pull the trigger, I'm finally moving on

Pull the trigger, Made up my mind on this

Pull the trigger, Yeah I'm gone
