My skin isn’t strong enough to hold me.
It won’t keep me floating in this cold sea.
I rely on what
runs inside my blood to keep me surfaced.
Darkness feels right inside a dark place,
only before light fills up its vacant face.
Things you never knew
without warning grew into your will to swim on.
I was blinded by a light reflecting off the waves,
I couldn’t see that I was swimming towards my gravestone.
I was sinking to the musty floor below the sea,
and I could feel the weight of all the water crashing down on me.
As they air removed itself from my lips,
I became as stagnant as these sunken ships.
Death, it was so clear,
It filled my lungs with fear.
I weave my soul to the cold sea.
