Overlapping Waves

Yes, ill stand beside you
but only because
You would never let me stand
in your open arms
No, thats not for me
but for so many others I can see

Whats wrong with me!?
will I never be good enough?
will I always just be in your shadow?

always striving for you to reach
down and grab me,
and save me from
the overlapping waves of depression

WHY WON'T YOU SEE!
WHY WON'T YOU OPEN YOUR EYES!
toward me.. just to see
how much you mean to me..

I'm drowning
in the waves of depression
I'm drowning in all the tears
I've shed for you!

But you won't see me
I'm in your shadow..
dyeing , and shattered
with no hand to pull me away
to save me from these overlapping waves.
