I lay here swinging
Drowning in my thinking

I'm lying
I lay there
Close to dying

A dull blade
A universal notice
To save this for another day

An emotion
A thought
Swims through the murky sea
Reaches out to me

I sense it
I feel it
I grab onto it
You
Wanting for this not to end
Wanting to just pretend that I'm not

L
  Y
    I
      N
         G

I wasn't laying there
So very very close to

D
  Y
    I
     N
       G

I could see the vein
Couldn't feel the pain

Watched the blood flow
No emotional control

I'm lying
I'm sorry
I wanted to be there
Dying
And was only saved
By a dull blade
But an attempt
Was made
