drowning

i remember us building, castles in the air
how could you turn and walk away
and watch our castles turn to sand?

seeing the world pass on by
through this tainted window
everything fades
and flows into the sea
i remember holding you close
as the light turned down low
and heard your heart beat
so close to mine

i wish i could hold the knife closer
allow my blood to flow with my tears
cause all i can feel is you
i used to be the marionette
but all i am now
is a broken doll, too tired to move on.
