Captured

The skies pour down,

Catching me in the deadly fall.

In their grasp I nearly drown,

I nearly suffocate at their hands.

The rain falls as flames,

Branding me with scars.

The price of losing this game

We call life.

The ocean swallows me whole,

Holding all I am,

Surrounding my very soul,

Surrounding my very being.

I have been taken,

Captured, by this thing called love

And I know its breaking,

Shaking up my sanity.

I’ve lost my heart,

I’m losing my mind as well.

I’m coming apart

At the seams-

And now I’m unsure

Of how far I’ll go

To keep this love, so pure,

From dying out

In me.
