i waited for so long,
standing here on the shore.
no matter how long the horizon,
i always wanted more.
i prayed for a savior,
someone to take me far away.
i dreamed of happiness,
perhaps i'll attain that some day.
this promise is nothing to me,
learned to ignore these feelings.
they are just as easily forgotten,
like the sound of you screaming.
i dip my toes into the existence of my being,
knowing you aren't coming for me.
too bad i didn't get that earlier,
but i understand that i couldn't see.
so sad right now,
i didn't have a chance at all.
i fell before i knew what was right,
now it is all so fatal.
with all the forgotten promises,
and all the wasted tears,
it's time i climbed aboard the boat,
and sailed straight to face my fears...
