Knot

Unsettling

This feeling

Sort of an empty memory

A passing of years

That cannot be held on

Waking up, shaking the feeling

Other people's souls

Search for you in them

Raining in your heart

Tears we know flood our minds

Nothing more than reaching out

A clear view of peace

Quickly snatched

Picture captured in an old heart

why why why

One more time

Rain through our minds

Fishing out bad memories

Yelling words that should have been said

One thought, another thought

Ruining my thinking

Was is clear and what is dead

Hurts in my stomach

This knot, this thing

Laughing without breath

Suddenly halted to a stop

This thing

Can you feel it?

Drinking sadness away

knots defeat it

It's raining in my mind

In my heart

In my soul

In my arms

In my life

In my being

In everything that I once

held dear

Release me from this knot
