Stormy Emotions

Sad words float up to the surface
tossed wildly in the turbulence
despair screaming through the storm
as the waves smoother everything
the cold chilling through to the bone
as the weather takes a turn for the worst

which direction will help come from
will any salvation arrive in time 
not able to tread water much longer
disappearing slowly under the surface
for there`s nothing more to give
as these stormy emotions take me down !
