Treading Water

xX : Xx Treading Water xX : Xx

Treading water just to stay afloat
Barely skimming the surface...
............................................My fingertips touch the sky whilst I die.

What happened to go so wrong?
Surely nothing she couldn't handle...
............................................Your vanity drives me to insanity.

She had always been happy.
Why the sudden change of character...?
............................................I've been the same since the very second I came.

Scars, burns, cuts and bruises.
Sure this beautiful child couldn't do that...
............................................Abuse is the key, it took sanity from me.

.....................Dead, yet alive,
.....................Lost to the outside.
.....................Reside inside your mind,
.....................Believe your innocence never died.
