"they found me hanging

off the side of cliffs

that held your heart

they found me drowning

in the ocean that held

tears, your tears

they found me chasing

through the forest where you

had buried your smile"

they found me falling

deeper, deeper, deep

into the unfortunate truth

that i had so desperately

fought to hide, fought to

nourish with lies, fought

to distance from what

i knew would take it all

along

they won't find me there anymore.

you'll find me dying.

you'll find me dead.
