My eyes are like waterfalls filled with savage emotion
The current is intense
The descent is deep and dreaded
The depths beneath so daunting
It’s dark and forlorn
Eaten up by the cold
Stinging me from within
Drowning in ache
And still the overflow is unending
I carry a weight upon me
It will never cease
I am moving from sorrow to sorrow
A heavy heart profuse with that, which plagues me
I am chasing waterfalls
I am that which I pursue
And yet I cannot escape from me
