The dark sea swallows
all memories.
As the waves come and go
The wind whispers,
"Let your soul be carried away"
Should I let go?
All the pain, tears, and scars
A boulder on the cusp of my being
I stare into the dark sea
The deep abyss below
My chest grows and depresses
as I breathe in
the salty air
"Let your soul be carried away"
Waves crashes upon the rocky cliff.
"Let your soul be carried away"
I close my eyes
I feel my heart
fluttering, fluttering
Let my soul be carried away
I feel my toes lifting
away from the gritty soil
Let my soul be carried away
The wind pulls me closer
Cradling me from above
"Let your soul be carried away"
But this opposing force,
the weight of the boulder
drags me down
falling, falling
Crashing like the waves upon the cliff.
The cold ground meets me harshly
My pain, my tears, my scars
The voice becomes faint
As I stare out into the dark sea
Once more.
