Lifeline
In a sea of inky darkness
I've lived in my whole life
I smile, but inside I'm dying
I'm calm, but bitten nails tell the lie
I'm jealous....
I'm selfish....
Love is so far away
Then he reached out his hand
Without saying a word
In an hour, he saved me
The guy with the shy smile
Ready to pull me close
Leading me to the dance floor
When we danced, it was magical
All he did
Was reach out his hand
He reached out a lifeline
I took it...
He pulled me out of the sea of dark thoughts
He probably didn't realize
In that moment, I could finally breathe
After so long drowning
I opened my caged heart
To the brightest feeling
I wanted him to hold me close
I wanted us to sway together
I wanted the night to last forever
But the final dance came and went
And he let go
And I fell back into the cold water
He walked away
Sunlight fades
I'm scared...
I'm empty...
I miss him, and it's haunting me
I miss the feeling of air in my lungs
I miss the warmth of the light
Love....it was just within reach
