The Pain is real
May 3, 2014
The pain is real
So deep I feel like I'm drowning in the ocean
I can no longer swim
My lungs run out of air
I feel I'm done
The pain is real
Then I see light
But, not to heaven
The light your eyes give off
And the fireworks your smile shoot off
The pain is real
Slowly but surly
The pain subsides
I'm now swimming back to the surface
To wish on the shooting star
That our love brings to the world
The pain is real
But, now is slowly floating out to sea.
