Drowning in Tears
If when it rains it pours, I'm drowning in tears - slowly sinking to greet rock's bottom. Hoping not to see them there - all the plans and hopes and dreams why even try - as hard as it seems. I want to just give up and face my end, yet I tarry, lingering, trying to pretend - that what they see camouflages the hurt and despair, the muting fact - no one to care...if the face I wear should even be there - if the smile that extends from ear to ear can hide the fact that I want my end to be here. With my luck, as bad as it is, I'll find happiness and want to live and it'll all be over within the tick of a clock - fate to be sealed, the door to be locked - and the thing for which I impatiently wait will stand square in my face...laughing and saying - the big, fat dummy took the bait.
